another season of streaming’s best and most undeservedly canceled shows of the last decade or so. “Mindhunter” season 3 has quickly joined the ranks of “GTA VI” and “The Winds of Winter” as pop-culture sensations that everyone has been asking for … but seem perpetually destined to never actually come to fruition.
Is there still a chance for more “Mindhunter” in some capacity, at least? I can already feel the internet collectively clenching its you-know-what at the very idea of being disappointed again, but this particular smoke might have some fire to it. Maybe. Almost six years after we last saw FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), and Dr. Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) tracking down serial killers and interviewing them to get into the minds of genuine sociopaths still on the loose, we’ve finally received our most promising tease yet. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, McCallany was making the press rounds for his upcoming Netflix series “The Waterfront” (from original “Scream” writer Kevin Williamson) and once again addressed the speculation that can’t quite go away. According to the actor, however, there has been some movement on a “Mindhunter” continuation … but as a pair of full-fledged movies, rather than another season. As he explained:
“So look, you know, 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. I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.”
