Netflix's rudely axed Mindhunter could be returning with a twist
Almost six years ago, fans of the Netflix series Mindhunter were left devastated after it was axed after only two seasons. Now, the true crime series, which explored the psychology behind serial killers, could be getting a Hollywood makeover for a film revival. There is a potential to bring back the show as not only one movie but an entire trilogy, with creator David Fincher carefully vetting the scripts. Holt McCallany, who starred as FBI special agent Bill Tench, recently spoke to the Fight Club director, and it's looking up for fans. '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.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It's unknown if the plan is to see the return of Holt and co-star Jonathan Groff, who played key figure Holden Ford. However, Holt is more than happy to return as he added: '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.' Mindhunter was based on the 1995 book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker. It drew inspiration from the real FBI agents working to pioneer modern serial-killer profiling in the 70s, with real interviews with murderers re-enacted. Infamous killers like Ed Kemper, Richard Speck, Dennis Rader (known as BTK), and Charles Manson all featured in the show. The first episode dropped on October 13, 2017, and became an instant hit, totalling two seasons and 19 episodes. It was nominated for multiple Emmys, and Doctor Who star Jonathan was awarded best actor at the Satellite Awards in 2018. When the show was brutally axed after the second season, despite rave reviews, fans were furious. More Trending David explained to Vulture at the time: 'It's a 90-hour workweek. It absorbs everything in your life. When I got done, I was pretty exhausted, and I said, 'I don't know if I have it in me right now to break season three'.' He added: 'Listen, for the viewership that it had, it was a very expensive show.' Over 10,000 fans signed a petition for a third season to be created, but nothing ever came of the viewers' pleas for a return. Mindhunter seasons one and two are available to stream on Netflix .

Looks Like There's Hope for Mindhunter Fans After All
Netflix's Mindhunter managed to deliver two seasons before it got cancelled on Netflix, and while a lot of people cried for the series to come back, it looked like David Fincher had moved on. But as it turns out, there could be hope for the show after all. In a recent talk with CBR, Holt McCallany says he met with Fincher recently and says the series could come back in the form of a trilogy of films. He explains: '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. I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.' While the series has managed to showcase several real-life serial killers, one big cliffhanger involves the BTK Killer who is shown committing his murders around the same time as the series; but it's ultimately more tragic when you realize that BTK was caught in 2005. For now, McCallany says that ' stars would all have to align' to get a new Mindhunter trilogy going on Netflix, but with Stranger Things ending, maybe Netflix could look back at one of their more popular shows soon. Besides Mindhunter , there have also been calls for a GLOW movie which I've also been campaigning for, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, you can watch two excellent seasons of Mindhunter now streaming on Netflix.

Dave Nemetz Reviews The Waterfront: Netflix's Soggy Soap Drowns in Dumb Clichés — Now, YOU Grade It!
As a TV critic, it is my duty to watch as many episodes of a show as I can before reviewing it. In the case of Netflix's new drama The Waterfront (now streaming), I watched three… but if I weren't reviewing it, I don't think I would've made it through a single one. I watched them, dear readers, so that you don't have to. A Southern-fried family crime drama with unforgivably dumb dialogue, The Waterfront — which hails from Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson — seems to be aiming for something like Yellowstone meets Dallas. But it's too tepid and by-the-numbers to ever grab our attention: a lazy mishmash of a dozen primetime soap clichés, with a bit of over-the-top absurdity sprinkled on top. It's as ridiculous as a telenovela… but not nearly as fun. More from TVLine Land of the Lost Reboot in the Works at Netflix The Sandman's Final Season Trailer Features Dream's Return to Hell, Warns 'All Good Stories Come to an End' For First Time, Streaming Viewing Topped Broadcast and Cable Combined in May Set on the North Carolina coast in huge mansions overlooking the water, The Waterfront centers on the wealthy Buckley family, who run a local fishing empire. They're a big family in town — and we know this because we're told 'they're a big family in town' several times an episode. But they're not exactly one big happy family: The patriarch Harlan (played by Mindhunter's Holt McCallany) has a heart attack while in bed with his mistress. And when one of their fishing boats is used for drug smuggling and targeted for a violent hijacking, the ensuing fallout exposes some very tangled family dynamics. Williamson tries to follow in the footsteps of juicy primetime soaps like Empire and Dynasty here, but he turns up the heat too high, leaving us with overheated melodrama that verges on unintentional comedy with lines like 'It's all Key lime pie until you come home to find your wife and kid dead.' The scripts serve up lots of secrets and lies and capital-T twists, along with bland romantic complications to help pad out the running time. But we don't really care about any of it, because it's all been recycled from other shows. (The violence is at least creative, with one guy dangled headfirst into shark-infested waters and another stabbed in the throat with a screwdriver.) The overly dramatic music cues are corny, and the cast's accents are all over the place. McCallany has a certain tough-guy menace as Harlan, but Jake Weary's mopey son Cane isn't a compelling enough character to lead a show. As recovering addict daughter Bree, Supergirl alum Melissa Benoist is somehow old enough to be the mother of a full-grown teen (!). And apparently, Topher Grace shows up at some point as a drug kingpin? I couldn't tell you; I didn't last long enough to find out. I don't want to trash anyone's sincere artistic effort, but nothing about this is sincere. It all feels half-hearted and calculated, like Netflix is trying to pander to red state viewers with something mindless they can watch while scrolling on their phones. Or — here's an idea — they could just not watch at all. THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: An uninspired soap with laughably bad dialogue, is trying to be the new , but it doesn't come close. That's our take — but what's yours? If you've already watched (now streaming on Netflix), give it a grade in our poll, and hit the comments to share your thoughts.

David Fincher's MINDHUNTER Series Could Return as a Trilogy of Films; Writers are Working on it — GeekTyrant
It's been a long, frustrating road for Mindhunter fans. David Fincher's hauntingly detailed psychological crime series seemed to disappear into the Netflix void after its second season, despite critical acclaim and a passionate fanbase. Since 2019, viewers have been left wondering whether they'd ever get closure or a proper ending. Now, we finally have a flicker of hope… with a twist. In a new conversation with CBR, Holt McCallany, who played Special Agent Bill Tench, shared the most encouraging update we've heard in years, and while it's not Season 3, it could be three two hour movies. 'So look, you know, 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. I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.' While, this isn't a sure thing, there is a possibility of Mindhunter returning as a trilogy of films, that is now officially on the table. For fans who've been stuck in cancellation limbo, this is big news. Mindhunter never looked like a big-budget beast, but Fincher's exacting standards and cinematic approach made the show expensive to produce, and that's part of why Netflix pulled the plug. The fact that writers are currently working on potential scripts signals that Fincher is seriously exploring this idea. And even if Netflix ultimately says no, there's still a chance these films could find a home elsewhere. The streaming landscape has shifted, and more than a few high-profile shows have hopped platforms to get finished. Of course, nothing is greenlit yet, but I love the idea that Mindhunter could return in the form of two-hour films. It's the kind of storytelling format that could actually suit the show's methodical pacing.
