Mindhunter Season 2 Premiere Date Set for August!

Almost two years after the first season debuted, the second season of Netflix’s Mindhunter will arrive online in about one month! Speaking on the KCRW podcast The Treatment, executive producer and director David Fincher revealed that the series will be back for season two on August 16.

Speaking further about the series and its subject of the Atlanta Child Murders, Fincher said:

“You could probably do three seasons on The Atlanta Child Murders if you really wanted to turn over every rock. It’s a huge and sweeping and tragic story. We couldn’t do it justice in the background of our nine hours. We had to choose to dramatize ‘These are the last guys in’ and here are the reasons for that, and here they are trying to help out something that has its own momentum and has its own politics and certain areas have become entrenched. It’s a divided battlefield, and they’re coming in to try and throw this federal umbrella under everything to make everybody feel okay about sharing information and it’s really, really tricky.”

Furthermore, it was confirmed that actress Sierra McClain joined the cast for the second season.
