Netflix has returned with David Fincher’s one of the most awaited series Mindhunter( Season 3). Netflix hasn’t officially commented about the casts and crews. David Fincher, the man behind the show, has repeatedly reiterated and got that the show is improbable to come back.
If you are very new to the term Mindhunter, then you should know that this is one of the best shows on Netflix. The show follows two FBI agents who have opened up a brand new unit within the Bureau to study some of the most notorious killers in history.
We will say that the five seasons of the show were initially executed at the show’s inception. This is because of the nature of the show holding a big budget and viewership apparently not connecting the right marks. The series was put on “indefinite hold” with the cast released from their contracts, allowing them to pursue other jobs.
Recently Vulture confirms, “David is focused on directing his first Netflix film Mank and on producing the second season of Love, Death, and Robots. He may revisit Mindhunter again in the future, but in the meantime felt it wasn’t fair to the actors to hold them from seeking other work while he was exploring new work of his own.”
In late 2020, Fincher reiterated that the show was on hold, and tell
“Listen, for the viewership that it had, it was a very expensive show. We talked about, ‘Finish Mank and then see how you feel,’ but I honestly don’t think we’re going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic — dollars have to equal eyeballs.”
There have been hints that the show could be returning recently, with some sites saying scripts have been worked on and the show is still very much still “in the cards,” but that’s mostly hearsay for now.
In 2023, Fincher was stated in a French outlet Le Journal du Dimanche he was directly asked whether there will be a sequel to Mindhunter, to which he responded, “I’m very proud of the first two seasons. But it’s a particularly expensive show and, in the eyes of Netflix, we haven’t attracted a large enough audience to justify such an investment.
I don’t blame them, they took risks to launch the series, gave me the means to do as I dreamed of Mank and they allowed me to venture on new paths with The Killer. It’s a great opportunity to be able to work with people capable of audacity. The day when our desires will no longer be the same, we will have to be honest to separate.”
Mindhunter (Season 3): Expectation
One of the directors of the series has recently depicted the sequence of season 3 of Mindhunter
Andrew Dominik, the season 2 director, states that season 3 had higher ambitions than the previous two seasons and would be taking to Hollywood.
“What they were going to do with Season 3 was they were going to go [to] Hollywood. So one of them was going to be hooking up with Jonathan Demme and the other one was going to be hooking up with Michael Mann. And it was all going to be about profiling making it into the sort of zeitgeist, the public consciousness. It would’ve been… That was the season everyone was really waiting for to do, with when they sort of get out of the basement and start.”
Mindhunter (Season 3): Cast
In this series we will see, Jonathan Groff spoke to THR and touched on the future of Mindhunter.
He has referred to the decision to put the show on hold as being akin to Chicago Bulls general manager Jerry Krause made regarding 1997-1998, whereby it’d give the team some time to rebuild before coming out swinging again.
Groff later added, “The minute he says he wants to do another one, I’ll be there in a second. But I trust his vision and his instincts, and so I leave it always in his hands, as ever.”
Holt McCallany has opened up about the future of the series by tweeting out an article covering the show’s potential future. McCallany was featured on the KFC Radio podcast back in May 2021 saying he’d say “Yes immediately” should the opportunity ever come back up but ultimately said it’s up to David Fincher.
He notably said something similar in an interview with GoldDerby in the summer of 2020, where he said that he’s “optimistic that there can be another season,” adding, “I think it’s not too late for us to come back, so my hope is that we haven’t seen the last of Bill Tench and Holden Ford … I’m keeping my fingers crossed.”
