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.

"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."
