No need to keep searching for clues: We finally have our first look at footage from True Detective Season 2… and a premiere date.

The much-anticipated sophomore season of HBO’s crime anthology will debut Sunday, June 21 — that’s soon! — and the minute-long clip above gives us some tantalizing glimpses of what’s to come: Rachel McAdams as a badass cop leading raids with guns drawn; a grizzled (and mustached!) Colin Farrell facing off against slick criminal Vince Vaughn and putting on brass knuckles; a conflicted Taylor Kitsch getting into fights; and a mystery man putting on a ski mask and shushing us in a very creepy manner. (Along with haunting music and beautiful cinematography, of course.)

We have to admit: For all the bad buzz surrounding the unorthodox Season 2 casting, this trailer has got us extremely excited to see what’s next. And we haven’t even heard any dialogue yet! In Nic Pizzolatto we trust.

True Detective Season 2 premieres Sunday, June 21 on HBO.
