Overview

  • Holt McCallany says he recently met with David Fincher, who raised the possibility of reviving Mindhunter as a trilogy of feature films.
  • Writers are actively developing scripts for the proposed movies, but Fincher’s approval of the material remains a non-negotiable condition.
  • The director’s commitment to a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel and Jonathan Groff’s Broadway schedule present significant timing challenges.
  • Netflix originally halted Mindhunter after two seasons in 2020 due to its high production costs and relatively modest audience numbers.
  • McCallany and Fincher have spent more than two years collaborating on script revisions, highlighting the project’s careful but uncertain progress.
