‘Mindhunter’ isn’t coming back for Season 3, so grieve, cope, and move on with your life.
The Big Picture If you are a TV fan, you've no doubt had to deal with the premature loss of a favorite show. Before the streaming era, shows like My-So Called Life, Freaks and Geeks, and Pushing Daisies all ended before their time. Then along came Netflix, the ultimate heartbreaker. Did you enjoy that take on Daredevil? Too bad, it’s gone. Were you a fan of Mike Flanagan’s The Midnight Club? Sorry, it’s over -- go read the book.
Season 2 ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. An arrest had just been made in the Atlanta child murders, and the frightening scenes of the BTK killer were growing more intense. Season 3 looked to continue the macabre mayhem, except it never came to be. In early 2020, it was announced that the cast had been released from their contracts.
Oof. That hurt. For anyone hoping the show would soon return, that seemed to be the clearest answer that it wasn’t coming back, except then a Netflix rep also had to tell Vulture, "Maybe in five years." Dang you, Netflix. You make it impossible to let go! A few months later, in an interview with Variety, Fincher was again asked about Mindhunter. “I don’t know if it makes sense to continue,” he said. “It was an expensive show.
At this point, it had been almost two years since Season 2 of Mindhunter. While Groff’s comment about being there to do another season in a second was enticing to hold on to, it also wasn’t feasible. Fincher had moved on, returning to feature films. The cast had moved on too. Groff was also one of the leads in this year’s Knock at the Cabin and Anna Torv appeared in the adaptation of The Last of Us. On paper, it seems easy to bring the show back.
That sounds like acceptance for Fincher. He did his best, but his relationship with the series is over, and he’s ready to move on. That means you too, interviewers. Please, for the love of God, quit asking the man about Mindhunter in every interview he does. It’s getting to be absurd and makes it impossible to move on when we’re so often reminded of the one who got away.
