David Fincher's "Mindhunter" remains one of the most popular Netflix series that was ended far too soon.
A fan-favorite with near-perfect review scores, "Mindhunter" followed FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) as well as psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) as they establish the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU), tracking crimes and violent acts executed by serial offenders.

According to an article from Charles Papadopoulos of ScreenRant, McCallany has recently spoken to Fincher about possibly bringing the crime series back to Netflix. However, it would be different what it was before.
'MINDHUNTER' could potentially return in the form of 3 2-hour movies.
Holt McCallany met with David Fincher, who floated the idea — 'David has to be happy with scripts.'

"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," McCallany said, "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."

However, McCallany wanted to be careful getting fans' hopes up too much, noting this was just a chance and that "the sun, the moon, and the stars would all have to align" for "Mindhunter" to make its triumphant return.
"And I felt very fortunate and privileged to have gotten to do that show at all," McCallany continued. "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.
"The good news is that we're at Netflix with The Waterfront, and those movies would also be for Netflix. 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."

Broadway Week: Full List of Shows In September 2-for-1 Ticket Offer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Theatergoers will be able to score 2-for-1 tickets for 24 different Broadway shows from September 8 and September 21. The deals are available twice a year in an attempt to make Broadway more accessible, regardless of income. "By running this event twice a year, Broadway fosters community engagement and ensures the arts remain within reach, even in an inflationary environment," a financial expert told Newsweek. Why It Matters Broadway Week's 2-for-1 tickets have been available for limited times since 2011. Since the average cost of a Broadway show ticket ranges from $100 to $150, the 2-for-1 deal can significantly lower the cost burden for those who might not attend a Broadway show otherwise. Broadway theaters stand closed along an empty street in the theater district on June 30, 2020, in New York City. Broadway theaters stand closed along an empty street in the theater district on June 30, 2020, in New York To Know There are 24 shows included in the 2-for-1 Broadway week deal. This includes: & Juliet Aladdin The Book of Mormon Buena Vista Social Club Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club Chicago Death Becomes Her The Great Gatsby Hadestown Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Hell's Kitchen Jeff Ross: Take a Banana for the Ride The Lion King Mamma Mia! Maybe Happy Ending Moulin Rouge! The Musical MJ The Musical Oh, Mary! Operation Mincemeat The Outsiders Punch Six The Musical Stranger Things: The First Shadow Wicked Six of those productions, Buena Vista Social Club, Jeff Ross: Take a Banana for the Ride, Mamma Mia!, Operation Mincemeat, The Outsiders, Punch, and Stranger Things: The First Shadow, will be included in Broadway Week's special deal for the first time. "From groundbreaking musicals to timeless classics, Broadway is the heartbeat of New York City, and with NYC Broadway Week, we are, once again, making sure that more New Yorkers and visitors can enjoy the magic of the stage," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. Broadway has regained momentum in recent years following the coronavirus pandemic, with attendance now exceeding pre-pandemic levels, said Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast. "The deal not only fuels excitement but also gives more people access to classic shows and new productions," Thompson said. What People Are Saying Julie Coker, President and CEO of New York City Tourism + Conventions told ABC 7: "NYC Broadway Week is a celebrated tradition in our city, providing visitors with access to world-class productions found nowhere else in the world. Since its inception in 2011, the program has provided significant support to New York City's dynamic Broadway theater industry, generating over $196 million in revenue." Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: "At a time when the cost of living is high, this initiative makes theater more accessible for audiences who may not otherwise afford it. By running this event twice a year, Broadway fosters community engagement and ensures the arts remain within reach, even in an inflationary environment." Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "This deal has been offered in regular intervals in order to attract more fans to come see shows and has been largely successful. Long before current inflationary problems, theater tickets had been creeping up for years in pricing, as the cost of running a show skyrocketed." What Happens Next With the deal going live for shows next month, many viewers will be able to introduce new patrons of the arts into the Broadway scene, Beene said. "It's hard to develop long-term fans when the minimum price to entry is so high," Beene said. "Offering 2-for-1 ticketing deals gives current fans a means for inviting someone new to the Broadway scene for free and hopefully creating a future patron from them. It's a savvy business tactic."

Is Jake Paul fighting Gervonta Davis? What to know about fight between YouTuber, boxing champion
Is Jake Paul fighting Gervonta Davis? What to know about fight between YouTuber, boxing champion originally appeared on The Sporting News Was Jake Paul's next fight announced in an accidental tweet? The X account for Netflix in Turkey tweeted a supposed announcement of a fight between Paul and Gervonta Davis, to be aired live on the streaming platform, but the post was quickly deleted. Paul had reportedly been in talks in recent weeks to fight Anthony Joshua, while Davis saw a potential rematch with Lamont Roach Jr. delayed after a controversial draw in March. Here's what you need to know about a potential fight between Paul and Davis, including the reported date. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Is Jake Paul fighting Gervonta Davis? Netflix's official X account for the country of Turkey tweeted an announcement for a Nov. 15 fight between Paul and Davis before deleting the post on Wednesday. The announcement, while premature, seems to be credible. Paul and Davis will indeed face off in an exhibition fight in November, Ring Magazine's Mike Coppinger reported. The bout will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian, however, cast some doubt on the report. "Amazing how 'sources' have it confirmed but have it wrong," Bidarian tweeted Wednesday. Coppinger confirmed Paul was in talks to face Joshua this summer, but those talks "collapsed due to network issues," he reported. Davis, meanwhile, was eyeing a potential second fight with Roach after they fought to a controversial draw in March. A rematch was realistic enough that target dates for the match in August were reported earlier this summer, but no agreement was ever made official. When is Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis fight? Paul and Davis are set to fight on Saturday, Nov. 15 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Paul previously fought Ben Askren in Atlanta in 2021, though the bout took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. State Farm Arena has hosted two fights featuring Davis, with "Tank" defeating Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019 and Mario Barrios in 2021. MORE:How Jake Paul showed support for Ben Askren during health crisis Jake Paul boxing record Paul has a career boxing record of 12-1. The former YouTuber suffered his only loss against Tommy Fury in 2023 and has won each of his last six professional fights. Paul's last bout came against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Gervonta Davis boxing record Davis has a career boxing record of 30-0-1. The World Boxing Association lightweight title holder has never suffered a professional loss, though he had to settle for a draw against Roach when they met in the ring in March. Jake Paul weight Paul weighed in at 199.4 pounds for his fight against Chavez, after coming down from 227 pounds for his heavyweight bout with Mike Tyson. Paul and Davis almost certainly won't come in at the same weight for November's potential fight, but there would likely be a different limit for each fighter going into the exhibition. MORE:Is Jake Paul planning 'insane' fight with Anthony Joshua for 2026? Gervonta Davis weight Davis generally weighs in near 135 pounds. He weighed in at 133.8 pounds for his March fight with Roach. While Davis may have to add some weight before his potential fight with Paul, the idea of the two fighters weighing in at nearly the same figure is likely unrealistic.
