OFFICIAL: Season 2 of Mindhunter is happening

Paul Moore

Netflix have just confirmed the news.

We need to talk to more subjects. Oh yes! The critically-acclaimed, crime drama series Mindhunter will return to Netflix for a second season.

In case you haven’t been addicted to the serial-killer drama, the first series was set in the late 1970s as we followed two FBI agents that expanded criminal science by delving into the psychology of murder and getting uneasily close to all-too-real monsters.

We’re promised that the second season will yet again feature Jonathan Groff (Looking), Holt McCallany (Sully), Anna Torv (Fringe), Hannah Gross (Unless) and newcomer Cameron Britton, who portrays serial killer Ed Kemper on the series and has drawn raves for his performance.

In a recent interview with Billboard, David Fincher said that Season 2 would primarily center on the infamous Atlanta child murders, in which nearly 30 African-American children, teens, and young adults were kidnapped and killed between 1979 and 1981.

Joe Penhall (The Road) created the series alongside David Fincher (Gone Girl, The Social Network, Zodiac), Joshua Donen (Gone Girl, The Quick and the Dead) Charlize Theron (Girlboss, Hatfields & McCoys) and Cean Chaffin (Gone Girl, Fight Club).

Truth be told, the first season had us hooked and with a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, it was lauded by critics for its reinvention of the crime procedural, when it premiered in October.

Here’s the first cryptic trailer.
