David Fincher's ‘Mindhunter' Ready For Season 2

David Fincher’s "Mindhunter" had a great first season. It was the kind of show that made you crave for a follow-up season, what with the stakes being higher than ever after that final shot which ended season one. This has turned the upcoming second season as one of 2019’s most anticipated TV releases.

Netflix has just released a first look at the upcoming 9 episodes, which will follow FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench, along with assistant psychologist Wendy Carr, as they investigate the infamous Atlanta Child Murders of the ‘80s.

.David Fincher, Andrew Dominik, and Carl Franklin. will share directing duties this season.

Fincher hasn't directed a film since 2014's "Gone Girl." At some point he was supposed to helm a Ben Affleck-starring remake of Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on A Train" but IMDB doesn't have that project's page listed anymore and it probably won't be happening any time soon due to Affleck’s personal problems. Scrapped? Who knows. Fincher was also supposed to collaborate with Brad Pitt for the fourth time with a "World War Z" sequel, but that has been scrapped as well. We did learn last week that Fincher is now trying to make a movie on Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz and his rivalry with co-screenwriter and ‘Kane’ director Orson Welles.

In case you’re wondering, but why would you be reading this website otherwise, Fincher is known for directing such movie classics as “Se7en,” “Fight Club,” “The Social Network” and “Zodiac.”

“Mindhunter” Season 2 returns on August 16 to Netflix.
