Netflix confirm that Mindhunter will get a second season.
Good news arrives today that Netflix have recommissioned 70’s crime drama Mindhunter for a second season.
The show which counts David Fincher amongst its directors follows FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Holt McCallany (Bill Trench) as they challenge the then conventional techniques used to track down serial killers by interviewing convicted killers to find the key to a psychopath’s motives and put this into practice when investigating unsolved crimes.
Joe Penhall created the series with David Fincher, Joshua Donen, Charlize Theron, and Cean Chaffin as executive producers.
Although it had been previously rumoured that the streaming service had committed to a second season prior to the first even being released, Netflix only officially confirmed a second season today but without any confirmation of a release date.
Fincher recently spoke of filming the second series, implying it would begin in 2018, but it remains to be seen the level of involvement he will be able to commit to the show with his slated filming of the World War Z sequel also due to start next year.
The director recently told Billboard magazine that he believed that the second season would begin two years after the first season and would be again based around real life crime that took place between 1979 to 1981;
“Next year we’re looking at the Atlanta child murders, so we’ll have a lot more African-American music which will be nice. The music will evolve. It’s intended to support what’s happening with the show and for the show to evolve radically between seasons.”
The Atlanta child murders, despite the name, were a series of 28 killings of African-American chidlren, teenagers and adults.
Season 1 of Mindhunters is available on Netflix now (regional variances may apply).
