Mindhunter Star Shares Hopeful Update on Possible Season 3 After Netflix Delay
Fans of the critically acclaimed crime drama series Mindhunter have been left on the edge of their seats for months, waiting for an update on the status of Season 3. The show, which premiered on Netflix in 2017, has been met with widespread acclaim for its gripping storyline, atmospheric tension, and outstanding performances from its cast, including Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mindhunter’s co-creator Joe Penhall shared a hopeful update on the possibility of a third season, which was initially delayed due to Netflix’s busy production schedule.
"We’re still working on it," Penhall said. "We’re still talking to Netflix about it. We’re still writing. We’re still casting. We’re still trying to make it happen."
When asked if there was a specific timeline for when fans could expect to see Season 3, Penhall remained tight-lipped, but expressed optimism about the show’s future.
"I think we’re getting closer," he said. "I think we’re making progress. I think we’re going to make it happen. I’m really hopeful that we’re going to be able to bring it back."
The delay in production has been attributed to Netflix’s packed slate of original content, which includes a number of high-profile shows and movies. However, fans of Mindhunter have been vocal about their desire to see the show return, and the cast has also expressed their enthusiasm for revisiting their characters.
In a recent tweet, Jonathan Groff, who plays FBI trainee Holden Ford, thanked fans for their continued support and expressed his hope that the show would return soon.
"Thank you for all the love and support for #Mindhunter," Groff wrote. "I’m so grateful to have played Holden Ford and I hope we get to do it again soon!"
Holt McCallany, who plays FBI veteran Bill Tench, also expressed his appreciation for the show’s dedicated fan base and hinted that there may be more to come.
"Thanks for the love, #Mindhunter fans," McCallany tweeted. "We’re working hard to bring you more of the story. Stay tuned!"
While there is no official release date for Season 3 of Mindhunter, fans can take comfort in knowing that the show’s creators and cast are still committed to bringing the story to life. With any luck, we’ll be seeing more of Holden and Bill’s dark and twisted world soon.
