Fincher hat in einem Interview dem französischen Magazin "Le Journal du Dimanche" gegenüber berichtet, dass es keine 3. Staffel mehr geben wird.
By the end of 2020, Fincher was saying that season 3 was unlikely – but in early 2021, there were rumors that he and Netflix were talking about reviving the show after all. That didn’t pan out, and during a new interview with the French magazine Le Journal du Dimanche, Fincher confirmed that season 3 is never going to happen. He even gave a quote saying why Mindhunter ended.
Fincher said (with thanks to Collider for the quote), “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. 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.“
Fincher had previously indicated that if Mindhunter season 3 were to get rolling, Netflix wanted him to lower the budget – which would have been impossible, because season 3 would have been about the FBI agents “getting out of the basement” and going out to Hollywood. So it sounds like it would have required a budget at least as big as season 2’s, if not bigger.
