Legendary Netflix series could be SAVED as lead star gives promising update about comeback after meeting with director - six years on from controversial axing
Psychological crime thriller Mindhunter hit the streaming service back in 2017 and went on to air 19 episodes across two seasons, before wrapping up in 2019.
'In the late 1970s two FBI agents expand criminal science by delving into the psychology of murder and getting uneasily close to all-too-real monsters,' the Netflix synopsis reads.
The popular programme, created by Joe Penhall, stars the likes of Jonathan Groff, 40, Holt McCallany, 61, Anna Torv, 46, and Hannah Gross, 34.
In a recent chat with CBR, Holt - who played Bill Tench in the series - has teased that it could indeed be making a return.
He said: '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.

Holt said: 'So look, you know, I had a meeting with David Fincher (pictured) 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.'
He 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.
'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.'
It comes after Netflix fans were left furious back in April after it was claimed that Mindhunter wouldn't see another season because 'it's too expensive'.
In an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche back in 2023, David previously asserted that there wouldn't be another season of the beloved show.
He said: 'I'm very proud of the first two seasons.
'But it's a particularly expensive show, and in Netflix's eyes, we didn't attract a large enough audience to justify such an investment.
'I don't blame them; they took risks to launch the series, gave me the means to do what I dreamed of with Mank, and they allowed me to venture down new paths with The Killer.
'It's a chance to be able to work with people capable of daring.
'The day our desires are no longer the same, we will have to be honest about parting ways.'
David's quote resurfaced on X recently and left some fans disappointed by the news.
One commented: 'Y'all filmed in two rooms and a parking lot, where did the budget go.'

'One of the best series.'
'Sell it to Apple TV please I love that show.'
'This is why I stopped watching shows. All of them end up getting cancelled because they become too expensive.'
'Such a shame too, because it was one of the better things to come out of Netflix for a long while.'
''Didn't attract an audience' when it's literally one of the best Netflix show to have ever been made.'
'I knew this, I actually let go of my Netflix subscription when I realised it wasn't coming back. S*** p***** me off. One of the better crime shows I've watched.'
Mindhunter is available to stream on Netflix now.

‘She regrets playing with me' – Venus Williams' doubles partner makes heartbreaking quip after linking up with legend
HAILEY BAPTISTE joked that Venus Williams regretted playing with her while reflecting on her recent doubles run with the tennis icon. Baptiste, 23, partnered up with Williams in what was the 45-year-old's return to action following a 16-month lay-off. 3 3 The pair defeated Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue before narrowly falling to No2 seeds Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai. Baptiste and Williams' matches attracted huge crowds, with even NBA superstar Kevin Durant pulling up to watch. Ahead of the US Open, Baptiste caught up with pal Frances Tiafoe over coffee. The pair have plenty in common, having both honed their talents at the Junior Tennis Champions Center at Maryland Park as kids. During their conversation, posted on the ATP's social media channels, Baptiste reflected on the surreal experience of playing with American icon Williams. The world No51 said: "It was insane. From the moment I heard that we were going to play and it was set up, I was like, that's all I can think about. I'm about to play with a legend." When Tiafoe, whose twin brother Franklin coaches Baptiste, pointed out the nerves that come with playing alongside such an illustrious partner, she added: "Every ball I miss I'm like 'she regrets playing with me'." As Tiafoe howled with laughter, Baptiste went on: "She's like 'I'm wasting my time'. I was obviously crazy nervous. Venus and Serena are obviously the people I looked up to my entire life. "They pack arenas bro, standing room only. Walking onto court that day, on our first match. The noise, I never... "Especially for doubles, we're talking about doubles. That was at Citi Open, it could have been Ashe the way people sounded, it was nuts." Asked about Durant's attendance, Baptiste admitted: "I was so locked in on Venus, like I can't even think about KD. "I heard it, like I heard people start screaming, 'KD, KD'. He was into it though, clapping and everything. I was so focused on Venus." Williams stunned Peyton Stearns in the singles even at the Citi Open, beating the world No35 6-3 6-4 in front of a raucous crowd. The tour veteran has been awarded a wildcard for the upcoming US Open - 28 years on from reaching the final on her debut back in 1997. Williams is also set to take part in next week's glitzy revamped mixed doubles event. The legendary tennis icon will partner fellow American Reilly Opelka. Baptiste, meanwhile, will also be in singles action in New York. The Washington-born star will hope to win a singles match at the US Open for the first time. 3

We pay male escorts up to £300 an hour for mind-blowing sex – people think it's sleazy but there are so many benefits
SICK of disappointing dates or boring bedroom action? For countless women, the thought of another uninspired romp is enough to make them scream into their pillows. But what if the most extreme solution was also the smartest? Forget waiting for romance — increasing numbers of women are now taking matters (and pleasure) into their own hands, by paying for exactly what they want, when they want it. In fact, one in 20 married women over 50 are now so unhappy with their sex lives, they would consider turning to male escorts to spice things up. It's not just fed-up wives, either — younger women are also ditching dating apps, swapping swipes for guaranteed satisfaction with gigolos. Type 'male escort' into TikTok and thousands of videos pop up, with clean-cut hunks explaining why smart, successful women fork out for their services. And far from keeping it quiet, young women are now openly sharing their escort experiences. PA Laura Fox, 29, from Walsall, West Midlands, turned to escorts after her last relationship fizzled out. 'I've always been fascinated by escorts,' she says. 'When I was 19, I found out my friend's mum used to hire them to accompany her to events. 'Until that point, I'd assumed escorts were something men used — not women. 'But seeing how she carried herself changed my view.' Far from being sleazy or taboo, Laura suddenly saw escorts as 'the ultimate power move', with women in control. So when, aged 26, she was newly single after the end of a three-year relationship, using an escort seemed a no-brainer. 'I just wasn't ready for the faff of dating apps — the endless scrolling, the awkward messaging, the guys who want to sext but never meet,' she says. 'Then I remembered my friend's mum and had a real eureka moment.' Curious, Laura chatted to some pals who directed her to Gentlemen4hire, the UK's longest-running male escort company. From the hundreds of men on offer, she selected a well-groomed man in his thirties called James. 'NO GAME-PLAYING' 'Since I didn't have a work do or wedding to attend, I looked into 'boyfriend experiences' — basically male escorts who'll take you on dates and act the part, no questions asked,' she says. 'James was tall, dark and handsome and we had similar interests, such as good food and loving animals. 'We discussed fees — escorts typically cost from £220 per hour — and boundaries, such as what's included, what's not. 'It was strangely reassuring and James was clear, polite and respectful.' Laura arranged to meet her date in a local gastropub, but admits she was a bag of nerves beforehand. She says: 'I almost didn't go in. "But James instantly put me at ease, asking lots of questions and being friendly and kind. "It felt like a normal date — except I knew exactly how the night would go. 'There was no game-playing, no awkward 'will-he-won't-he?' tension. 'And the fee even covered the meal, so it was like I was out with a guy who'd paid for dinner, too.' Laura says her first escort experience was like a 'typical first date', with a kiss on the cheek at the end of the night, not red-hot passion. 'I didn't want to be worrying about sex the first time,' she explains. 'But after that I just booked what I fancied that day. 'And every time we did 'do the deed', it certainly lived up to expectations.' Since that first date, Laura has paid for more than ten experiences — sometimes because she's wanted male company, other times because she's craved a night of satisfying sex. Escorts tend to be experienced, attentive and entirely focused on my pleasure — a rare combo these days Laura Fox 'Some nights end with a goodbye hug, others with fireworks,' she smiles. 'Honestly, sex with an escort is often better than a one-night stand. "Escorts tend to be experienced, attentive and entirely focused on my pleasure — a rare combo these days. 'And you skip all the usual emotional admin that comes with dating. 'There are no mixed signals, no awkward texts the next day, no-one nicking your duvet at 3am.' Given all the benefits, Laura says it's no wonder so many ordinary women are paying for pleasure. 'I totally get why more and more of them are doing this,' she says. 'It's not just a man's world any more — we're taking control of our pleasure, our time, and our expectations. It's win-win.' 'NO PRESSURE' Despite the considerable costs, Laura plans to continue using escorts until she meets Mr Right. And despite her glowing reviews of the men she's hired, she's never been in danger of getting emotionally attached. She says: 'I guess some people do, but I don't because one of the reasons I started paying for escorts was because I wasn't ready for a serious relationship.' Like Laura, Natasha Greenwood, 34, from London, says booking escorts has been a game-changer. The PR executive, whose last long-term relationship ended seven years ago, reveals: 'For me, engaging with male escorts has become a way to explore my sexuality and seek companionship on my own terms. 'I turned to escorts after growing tired of the dating scene — boring men, boring sex and endless swiping on apps. "So I thought: 'Why not?'' Despite feeling on edge in the build-up to her first encounter, Natasha says her jitters were short-lived. 'Surprisingly, I felt very relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience,' she says. 'I had to pay a ten per cent deposit up front, which felt a bit strange. "But this was to cover the dinner. 'Afterwards, we went to a hotel for sex. It wasn't cheap — £300 per hour — but it was worth every penny.' For Natasha, who says passion dwindled two years into her last relationship, getting her needs met between the sheets is a huge plus of using gigolos. 'When I'm with a male escort, I feel free to ask for exactly what I want in bed. "There's no shame, no second-guessing and no pressure to be anything but myself. I can be bolder, kinkier and more experimental. 'I get to enjoy sex with a hot, confident man, with no strings attached. It's like dating on steroids.' Natasha admits there is still a stigma around women 'and particularly black women' using escorts, but stresses there's nothing sleazy about the practice. 'I appreciate the professionalism and discretion these men bring,' she explains. 'It allows me to fully enjoy the moment without the emotional minefield that can come with relationships. 'I keep male escorts on rotation, too. It's like having a fun new plaything every couple of months.' Using escorts doesn't come cheap and Natasha is spending less on holidays and other luxuries. Her friends and family are well aware of her escort use, as she often hires them as a 'plus one' for events or dinners. But she prefers to enjoy her escort experiences away from her own home. 'SEXUAL FREEDOM' 'We always end the night at a hotel. I prefer it that way,' she says. 'My space is mine and the fun stays just where I want it.' While some may raise eyebrows at the idea of so many women enjoying escorting services, both Laura and Natasha say that when it comes to intimacy, paying for what they desire has opened up a new world of sexual freedom. 'Everyone has the right to seek pleasure, intimacy and connection in ways that feel right to them,' says Natasha. 'This isn't about being desperate or giving up on love — it's reclaiming my pleasure and prioritising fulfilling, joyful experiences, in and out of the bedroom.' Names have been changed BUT REMEMBER: STAY SAFE SAFETY should always come first, says Sun sexpert Georgie Culley. When booking an escort, stick to reputable agencies. Too-good-to-be-true prices are a red flag. Generally, escorts from legitimate agencies will cost £150-plus per hour. Before meeting, arrange a video call first, so you can verify who they are and set clear boundaries. Ask to see their ID, too. Always meet in a public place such as a restaurant or bar first. And let a trusted friend know where you'll be and who you're meeting. Avoid sharing personal details like your home address until you feel comfortable. Never transfer money in advance, unless it's through a trusted agency platform. If you do make it to the bedroom, always practise safe sex. Due to the nature of their job, escorts will likely be sleeping with lots of people, so always use condoms. Most importantly, trust your gut. If anything feels off, walk away. Your safety and comfort are key.

David and Victoria Beckham face fresh heartache as new details emerge of Brooklyn's vow renewal speech to wife Nicola Peltz
David and Victoria Beckham look set to face fresh heartache as new details have emerged of son Brooklyn's vow renewal speech to wife Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent amid their ongoing feud. His parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding, while in contrast, Nicola's family had key roles at the lavish event. And in an additional blow for the Beckham family, Brooklyn reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking 'movingly' of his wife, as he gave his speech in front of the 200 guests. A source told The Mirror: 'He spoke from the heart - and at the centre of his heart is Nicola who he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.' News of the 'heartfelt tribute' to billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, and wife Claudia, 70, will no doubt add to the pain of the Beckham family amid their estrangement from Brooklyn, with it said that no such tribute was given for his own parents. Daily Mail has contacted representatives of Brooklyn, David and Victoria for comment. In addition to his immediate family, Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. It comes as Brooklyn is reportedly 'heartbroken' over the way his wife Nicola is being 'painted as a viper' within their ongoing family feud. Billionaire heiress Nicola has previously been accused of 'isolating' Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too. New sources allege Brooklyn is not being held from making his own decisions and is 'devastated' over the way his wife is being portrayed. A source told The Mirror: 'It's so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola. 'Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. 'It breaks Brooklyn's heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.' in an additional blow for the Beckham family, Brooklyn reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking 'movingly' of his wife, as he gave his speech in front of the 200 guests News of the 'heartfelt tribute' to billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, and wife Claudia, 70, will no doubt add to the pain of the Beckham family amid their estrangement from Brooklyn, with it said that no such tribute was given for his own parents Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams representatives for comment. Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn's parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son. They said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. 'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.' Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal was a glamorous affair packed with family, fashion and friends earlier this month. As more pictures of both the big day and the after-party come to light, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the festivities were fairly one-sided - with most of the guestlist comprising Brooklyn's post-Nicola peers and pals. The lack of Brooklyn's side sparked widespread chat on social media, including comments from fans who likened their relationship to that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - after the royal turned his back on his family and moved to the US. When Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in 2022, they hosted a three-day Palm Beach extravaganza, which saw 500 guests party in no-expense-spared marquees in front of the ocean - where both families stood front and centre . Fast- forward three years and the change is remarkable, with no sign of the Beckham parents or the siblings Brooklyn held so close to his heart. In their place is the entirety of the Peltz clan - with Nicola's mother Claudia and her father Nelson holding all-star roles on the day.
