There is hope, Mindhunter fans.
Holt McCallany, who starred in the Netflix series for two seasons alongside Jonathan Groff, recently told CBR about the long-awaited possibility of a revival and how he’s spoken to the show’s executive producer/director David Fincher about the series returning as possibly three films.
“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,” said the Waterfront star. “I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.”
He continued, “I recently wrote a script that he was kind enough to give me notes on. I was in script revisions with David for two and a half years.. but [he] was very meticulous, which is why I think he’s the best director in Hollywood,” The Iron Claw star said before adding, “He gave me a little bit of hope when I had that meeting with him, but the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align.”
Mindhunter dropped on Netflix in 2017 and 2019 and followed Bill (McCallany) and Holden (Groff) investigating the psyche of serial killers. Netflix decided not to renew the series primarily because of high production costs, according to Fincher. “It’s a very expensive show, and in the eyes of Netflix, we didn’t attract enough of an audience to justify such an investment” for a season three, he said in 2023.
However, six years later, the fans and its passionate fanbase have continued to ask for more.
Previously, in 2021, Groff also told The Hollywood Reporter he would return and gushed about his love of working with Fincher. “To me, Mindhunter is Fincher. The whole experience for me was the honor and privilege of getting to work with him. This was the main draw for me,” Groff said. “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.”
