Mindhunter season 3 is likely never going to arrive on Netflix

&#8216;Mindhunter&#8217; Season 3 Would See Bill and Holden in Hollywood, If It Ever Reaches Our Screens

Mindhunter, a Netflix original series from the famed filmmaker, David Fincher
first premiered in 2017. After it returned for a second run in 2019, fans had
hoped for a Mindhunter season 3. But it seems Netflix has abandoned the show
after it was on hold for a long period of time. Starring Holt McCallany and
Jonathan Groff, the series followed two FBI criminal profilers working on the
cases of serial killers.

SEASON 3

Director Andre Dominik is as unhappy with letting the show go as the viewers. In
a recent interview, he revealed that they had planned to bring the duo out of
their basement and get them to Hollywood.

“So one of them was going to be hooking up with Jonathan Demme and the other one
was going to be hooking up with Michael Mann. And it was all going to be about
profiling making it into the sort of zeitgeist, the public consciousness,” he
disclosed

Apparently, it was the season even the crew was waiting to do. Afterall, they
started as a basement startup and going to Hollywood would have been spreading
the word out there. 

With such excitement, why are the chances of season 3 so low?

WHY WON’T THE DAVID FINCHER SERIES RETURN TO OUR TELEVISION?

In 2020 came the shocking news that the cast and crew were released
[https://tvline.com/2020/01/15/mindhunter-season-3-netflix-cancelled-renewed/amp/]
from their contracts. But fans were still holding on to their hopes until
Fincher disclosed that he was exhausted

also shed

some light on the budget constraints. 

‘Listen, for the viewership that it had, it was an expensive show. We talked
about “Finish Mank and then see how you feel,” but I honestly don’t think we’re
going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you
have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs.”

Unfortunately, despite acquiring critical acclaim, Mindhunter
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/mindhunter] just wasn’t as popular as Stranger
Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things]. Neither did it pick up
Emmys like The Crown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-crown]. Moreover,
Netflix’s [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] loss has prompted it to
reduce its expenses
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-was-splitting-shows-like-stranger-things-a-strategy-to-deal-with-netflix-subscribers-loss/].
It probably cannot afford another season.

What about you? Do you want another season of Mindhunter?
