Overview

  • Holt McCallany recently met with David Fincher, who indicated the series may return as three two-hour movies.
  • Writers are drafting scripts for the proposed films, but Fincher’s approval is required before any production can start.
  • Netflix would produce the movies under Fincher’s existing overall deal with the streamer.
  • The project remains speculative and is contingent on Fincher being happy with the scripts and having the time to direct.
  • Mindhunter was canceled in 2019 over high production costs and modest viewership, with Fincher describing Season 2’s shoot as exhausting.
