Mindhunter Season 3 might have been one of the most anticipated instalments in the series that would give the viewers needed answers and tie up some ends. But since David Fincher has finally confirmed that the show will not be going forward, it has broken the hearts of many fans who were hoping for the renewal news to drop.
In his statement, he explained that it’s a particularly expensive series and, in the eyes of Netflix, the show hasn’t been able to attract a large enough audience to justify such an investment. However, contrary to that statement, the public opinion on the internet says otherwise and would even convince you that there’s a big audience base for the show.
Mindhunters follows FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench probe further into the psyches of those who have done the unthinkable. With help from psychologist Wendy Carr, they apply their groundbreaking behavioural analysis to hunting notorious serial killers.

The series is directed by David Fincher (Gone Girl, Zodiac) as well as Andrew Dominik and Carl Franklin (The Leftovers, House of Cards). Fincher, Joshua Donen, Charlize Theron and Cean Chaffin executive produce along with Courtenay Miles and Beth Kono. The show stars Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, Anna Torv, Joe Tuttle, Albert Jones, Stacey Roca, Michael Cerveris, Lauren Glazier, and Sierra McClain.
The show was lauded by critics for its reinvention of the crime procedural and is based on the 1995 true-crime book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit written by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker. Despite the good reviews, the news of the cancellation comes as a surprise but also something that was coming, considering the state of the streaming platform.
Lately, many streaming platforms have been downsizing their content or cancelling many popular shows due to numerous reasons. Netflix is no stranger to the trend and has been getting the backlash for axing many of its original series, especially those which ended on a cliffhanger.
Many fans took to Twitter to announce that this was the last bit and now they will be cancelling their subscription to the platform. While others shared their favourite moments and memories from the show, revelling in the fact that it was a masterpiece.
