Five years on from its last season, Mindhunter star Holt McCallany says David Fincher has considered bringing back the Netflix classic.
“I’ve heard that David’s thought about it. I’m not saying it’s going to come back. But what I am saying is thatifit comes back, I’m coming back with it, “McCallany toldAwards Daily. “You can take that to the bank, but it’ll depend on what David wants to do.”
McCallany did, however, offer up a word of caution for those expecting a Mindhunter season 3 announcement any day now: “It’s been a few years now, so it’s probably unlikely, but just even that he would think about it is a hopeful sign.”
Mindhunter, based on the book of the same name by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker, charted the origins of the Behavioral Science Unit in the FBI and the ongoing hunt for serial killers. McCallany played special agent Bill Tench alongside Jonathan Groff’s Holden Ford and Anna Torv’s Wendy Carr.
Speaking to French publicationLe Journal du Dimanche, Fincher explained: “I’m very proud of the first two seasons, but it’s a particularly expensive series and, in the eyes of Netflix, we haven’t attracted a large enough audience to justify such an investment.”
