After the official announcement of the final cessation of “Mindhunter” by David Fincher, the fans of the series do not want to admit defeat and launch a petition to convince the platform.
Four years after season 2 of Mindhunter, fans of the series are still hoping for the return of Agent Holden Ford. However, everything is at a standstill on the side of Netflix and it is without counting on the declarations of David Fincher in the columns of the Sunday newspaper.
At the end of February, the director confirms the end of the program: “I’m very proud of the first two seasons. But it’s a particularly expensive show and, in the eyes of Netflix, we haven’t attracted a large enough audience to justify such an investment.“This statement is more bad news for those who were hoping for a nice surprise, but the fans aren’t let down.
An online petition, addressed to David Fincher himself and to the other creators, has been launched. As of this writing, the goal of 35,000 signatures is nearing completion. “We respectfully ask that you review your priorities and take the time to film this season 3 soon, and if that is not possible, consider hiring a new director.”, explains the author of the petition.
She continues: “Please don’t let such a brilliant series die because we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it has the potential to be one of the most popular.”
Not sure that the efforts of the fans end up paying off. Rare are the petitions capable of changing the platform’s mind. In April 2022, director Andrew Dominik revealed plans for season 3. According to him, agent Holden Ford was to travel to Hollywood to work on profiling, crossing paths with directors such as Jonathan Demme and Michael Mann – who have both adapted the books of Thomas Harris, creator of the famous Hannibal Lecter.
David Fincher will soon return to Netflix with his new feature film, The Killer, worn by Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton. The film, partly shot in Paris, is expected on November 10, 2023.
