Beloved Netflix Show Could Make Surprise Return - with One Requirement
- Netflix's true crime series Mindhunter ran for two seasons before being put on indefinite hold in 2019 and officially canceled in January 2020.
- The series cost was high and failed to generate sufficient viewer numbers to justify a third season, leading to Netflix releasing cast members from their contracts.
- Recently, actor Holt McCallany met with executive producer David Fincher, who is reportedly working on scripts for a potential return as three two-hour movies instead of a series.
- McCallany said, "The sun, the moon, and the stars would all have to align" for the return, stressing David Fincher still must approve the scripts, and nothing is confirmed yet.
- If the movies happen, they would be released on Netflix, providing fans hope but leaving the future of Mindhunter uncertain and dependent on Fincher's time and interest.
