Mindhunter Season 2 Confirmed

Based on the 1995 book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, Netflix’s Mindhunter adapts real FBI serial killer cases documented in the book, set against an atmosphere of insatiable lust and darkness. With suspense-minded visionary David Fincher and Charlize Theron as executive producers, Mindhunter isn’t a run of the mill crime procedural.

The first season was a hit with viewers, and Netflix has confirmed that Mindhunter Season 2 is happening. There is no confirmed information on the lineup for Mindhunter Season 2. However, barring any shocking shedding of main cast players, we can, for now, presume that the Season 1 primary players are returning.

Holt McCallany told ScreenRant that David Fincher has long term plans, saying “he wants to do five years of this show. Five seasons of these characters and so I’m hopeful, you know I don’t take anything for granted.”

Mindhunter Season 2 Release Date

Netflix is probably a long way from divulging the Mindhunter Season 2 release date, but hopefully it will arrive before the end of 2018.

Mindhunter Season 2 Story

Based on the 1995 true crime memoir Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. The book chronicles some of the unfathomably gruesome serial killer cases from the 25-year bureau career of Douglas, who was the inspiration for Scott Glenn’s Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs. 

Indeed, the series seems to be embodied by a quote from its own teaser trailer, “You want truffles, you gotta get in the dirt with the pigs.” Thus, the truffle-hunting in Mindhunter Season 2 will likely see its FBI team dig further in that proverbial dirt, and we’re likely to see the BTK mystery further evolve.

We’ll update this with more information as it becomes available.
