‘Mindhunter's Holt McCallany Teases 'A Chance' David Fincher Will Revive Series As Film Trilogy
More than five years after the Netflix series ended its two-season run, Mindhunter could get the feature-length trilogy treatment.
Holt McCallany, who starred as FBI special agent Bill Tench in the true-crime series, said he recently spoke to creator David Fincher about the possibility of bringing the show back in another form.

'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance,' he told CBR. 'I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.'
McCallany added: 'And I felt very fortunate and privileged to have gotten to do that show at all. I would love it if it were to return. I think, like I said, you know, he gave me a little bit of hope when I had that meeting with him, but the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align.'
With his new show The Waterfront premiering Thursday on Netflix, McCallany noted the movies also would be for the streaming platform.
'So I think that in terms of dates and logistics, it could all be worked out, but it has to do, you know, with David really having the time and the inclination and being happy, you know, with the material. And, you know, that's a big question mark,' added McCallany.
Based on the 1995 true-crime book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker, the series ran for two seasons from 2017-19.
McCallany and Jonathan Groff starred as the fictional Tench and Holden Ford, based on the FBI agents who pioneered the modern system of serial-killer profiling. The series re-created some of their interviews with killers such as Ed Kemper, Charles Manson and David Berkowitz.
