David Fincher Would Love To Revisit MINDHUNTER At Some Point and Continue The Story

Not long ago, David Fincher explained that a third season of his Netflix serial killer series Mindhunter most likely wouldn’t happen. But, he would love to revisit it at some point to complete the story that he set out to tell! So, there is some hope that it will happen one day.

He does admit that it’s a very expensive show that he’s not sure “if it makes sense to continue.” He says, “It was an expensive show. It had a very passionate audience, but we never got the numbers that justified the cost.”

It’s explained that the series was “exhausting” for Fincher. The filmmaker previously explained, “it’s a 90-hour work week. It absorbs everything in your life. When I got done, I was pretty exhausted, and I said, 'I don’t know if I have it in me right now to break season three.'”

Fincher said in this recent interview, “I certainly needed some time away. We had all hands on deck to finish [season two] and we didn’t have a ton of scripts and a ton of outlines and a bible standing by for season three. I’ll admit I was a little bit like ‘I don’t know that I’m ready to spend another two years in the crawl space.'”

But Fincher isn’t giving up on the series! He goes on to say, “At some point I’d love to revisit it. The hope was to get all the way up to the late 90’s, early 2000’s, hopefully, get all the way up to people knocking on the door at Dennis Rader’s house.”

As you know, the show’s story was building up to the BTK killer and the series was going to come to an end on that. I hope that Fincher actually does get to continue and finish the story that he set out to tell with the series. But, while he would love to do it, we don’t know what Netflix wants.
