If four years of radio silence hadnโt extinguished all your remaining flames of hope for Mindhunter season 3, perhaps this will.
During a recent interview with French publication Le Journal du Dimanche (via AVClub), director and executive producer David Fincher made the fate of the psychological crime drama perfectly clear. Despite the fact a Netflix spokesperson had previously claimed both Fincher himself and the streaming service โmay revisit Mindhunter again in the futureโ shortly after the cast was released from their contracts circa 2020.
โIโm very proud of the first two seasons. But itโs a very expensive show and, in the eyes of Netflix, we didnโt attract enough of an audience to justify such an investment,โ said David Fincher when prompted about Mindhunter season 3.
But considering Netflix offered the Fight Club, The Social Network, and Gone Girl filmmaker a four-year exclusive deal, however, he isnโt too cut up about it.

Fincher added: โI donโt blame them, they took risks to get the show off the ground, gave me the means to do Mank the way I wanted to do it and they allowed me to venture down new paths with The Killer.โ
โItโs a blessing to be able to work with people who are capable of boldness. The day our desires are not the same, we have to be honest about parting ways.โ
David Fincherโs next project produced under the Netflix banner is, as alluded to above, The Killer โ based on the French graphic novel of the name by Alexis Nolent; starring Michael Fassbender, Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, Sophie Charlotte, Tilda Swinton โ which arrives on November 10th, 2023.
Check out the synopsis and first-look footage below (1:37):
Solitary, cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer (Michael Fassbender) waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks heโs losing his mind, if not his cool.
