Mindhunter var en ret stor succes på Netflix, og selvom at det tog lang tid for en anden sæson at blive produceret, så skabte den debat og fik megen opmærksomhed. Men kort derefter kunne seriens skaber, David Fincher, slå fast at den var blevet lagt på is, og nu er den nok decideret død.
I et interview med franske Le Journal du Dimanche fortæller Fincher, at der ikke ikke kommer nogen tredje sæson på Netflix, og grunden er ret simpel:
"I'm very proud of the first two seasons. But it's a very expensive show and, in the eyes of Netflix, we didn't attract enough of an audience to justify such an investment [for Season 3]. I don't blame them, they took risks to get the show off the ground, gave me the means to do Mank the way I wanted to do it, and they allowed me to venture down new paths with The Killer. It's a blessing to be able to work with people who are capable of boldness. The day our desires are not the same, we have to be honest about parting ways."
Dermed kan vi vist slå fast at serien ikke er på "indefinite hold", men snarere ikke bevæger sig fremad overhovedet.
