Mindhunter Season 2 Directors Announced
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.
A small handful of directors have been announced for season 2’s 8 parts, too, including Fincher himself (who may have some unexpected spare time on his hands, now that World War Z 2 has been delayed yet again). He’ll be calling the shots on both the opening episode and the season finale, with Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James) taking on two episodes, and Carl Franklin (Devil In A Blue Dress) directing the other four.
Mindhunter Season 2 Release Date
Netflix is probably a long way from divulging the Mindhunter Season 2 release date, but it probably won’t arrive until 2019.
Mindhunter Season 2 Cast
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 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.
