David Fincher says ‘Mindhunter’ was too expensive for streaming giant Netflix
The HinduDavid Fincher, the director and executive producer of Mindhunter,confirmed that the crime-drama is ‘officially’ cancelled. Based on the book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, the show premiered on the global streaming platform in 2017. However, in an interview with Vulture in 2020, Fincher said he is “probably” done with the show indicating that the show will not get another season. Fincher said that there would have been a possibility of Netflix renewing it for a third season if he could have managed to bring down the cost of creating it, “but I honestly do not think we’re going to be able to do it for less than I did season two,” he remarked. After Mindhunter, Fincher worked again with Netflix for Mank, the biographical drama film based on the life of Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman J Mankiewicz.
