Mindhunter Season 3 to be delayed by Netflix

David Fincher and Netflix are currently working for a new original film titled “Mark” which revolves around the production of 1941’s cult classic film Citizen Kane from the perspective of screenwriter Herman. Along with that, Fincher is also serving as an executive producer of the popular animated series, “Love, Death and Robots” which would almost take his entire year. Hence, Netflix has currently released all its cast members from their contract and delayed Mindhunter part 3 until Fincher is free from other projects.

Mindhunter Season 3 will most probably be renewed at some point given how the show is already reaching new levels of popularity for the streaming service. There are several reports claiming that Netflix has canceled the third season of Mindhunter but they have not announced anything like that and hence they are just baseless rumors.
As for the Mindhunter Season 3 release date, the earliest it can premiere is January-February 2021. Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv are the three main stars of Mindhunter season 3 which would very soon get new contracts.
