Netflix’s Mindhunter managed to deliver two seasons before it got cancelled on Netflix, and while a lot of people cried for the series to come back, it looked like David Fincher had moved on. But as it turns out, there could be hope for the show after all.
In a recent talk with CBR, Holt McCallany says he met with Fincher recently and says the series could come back in the form of a trilogy of films. He explains:
“I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it’s just a chance. I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.”
While the series has managed to showcase several real-life serial killers, one big cliffhanger involves the BTK Killer who is shown committing his murders around the same time as the series; but it’s ultimately more tragic when you realize that BTK was caught in 2005.
For now, McCallany says that ‘stars would all have to align’ to get a new Mindhunter trilogy going on Netflix, but with Stranger Things ending, maybe Netflix could look back at one of their more popular shows soon.
Besides Mindhunter, there have also been calls for a GLOW movie which I’ve also been campaigning for, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
In the meantime, you can watch two excellent seasons of Mindhunter now streaming on Netflix.
