Mindhunter has been one of the best shows on Netflix. The show follows the story of two FBI agents who form a new unit within the bureau to study some of history’s most infamous killers. FBI agent Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) and Holden Ford(Jonathan Groff) started the division along with Wendy Carr(Anna Torv) who is a psychologist. Together they begin interviewing imprisoned serial killers to understand their psychology.
Initially, the series was set to have five seasons but due to a big budget and mediocre viewership, Netflix put the show on hold with the cast released from their contracts.
The news of the potential renewal of the show sparked when Netflix told Vulture that David Fincher (Director, and producer) is working on his first Netflix film Mank and the second season of Love, Death, and Robots. He might revisit Mindhunter in the near future.
Fincher spoke about the show in late 2020, saying that the show was too expensive compared to the viewership. We thought of first finishing the Mank and then thinking about the show but honestly, I don’t think we are going to do that. He said that the dollars should be equal to the eyeballs.
Small Screen suggested that the script for further seasons is in work.
