SOUND THE ALARMS BECAUSE MINDHUNTER MAY NOT BE KAPUT AFTER ALL.
After cast members Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv were all released from their contracts last year, it looked bleak, very, very bleak. Executive Producer, de-facto showrunner and the show’s most frequent director David Fincher also confirmed that the show was donezo due to its immense workload.
“It’s a 90-hour workweek. It absorbs everything in your life. When I got done, I was pretty exhausted, and I said, ‘I don’t know if I have it in me right now to break season three,” Fincher told Vulture.
He also added that it was “a very expensive show” and the viewership wasn’t high enough to justify those dollars. That’s supposedly why there wasn’t any push back from Netflix when Fincher made his decision to put the show on hold indefinitely.
BUT according to Small Screen a Netflix spokesperson said that there are talks happening with Fincher about a third season.
“It’s still very early days, but Fincher sounds more upbeat about the project,” the spokesperson said.
Originally it was thought that IF Mindhunter did come back it wouldn’t be for another five years. But with this new info it sounds like season three may be closer than we thought.
In the mean time though, Fincher revealed one of the possible endings he had in mind for the show.
“The hope was to get all the way up to the late ’90s, early 2000s, hopefully get all the way up to people knocking on the door at Dennis Rader‘s house,” he said.
Cast your minds back to season 1, and you might remember how Fincher opened almost every episode with a man named Dennis Rader (Sonny Valicenti).
For now that’s all we have. But if there’s anything we’ve learnt as a society it’s that burnout isn’t good for creativity or just good for us in general. So I say, Fincher take a break and when you’re ready to work on Mindhunter again, we’ll be ready.
