Several Netflix series have been canceled in the past few weeks.
Now another could follow because a producer lacks the motivation to continue it.
The selection of
Netflix series is
growing steadily, which at the same time causes the streaming service to sell more and more productions.
Most recently,
Netflix
announced, for example, that the series “Away” * and “I Am Not Okay with This” will not get a second season.
Now rumors are circulating that the premature end of the popular crime hit
"Mindhunter" is
also a done deal.
Statements by producer
David Fincher
in an interview reinforce this thesis.
He gives several reasons why the shooting of a sequel is unlikely.
"Mindhunter" on Netflix: David Fincher has no hopes for a third season
The
second season of "Mindhunter" was released
in August 2019 on
Netflix
.
Then in January 2020 the bad news: The series is to be paused for an indefinite period and at the same time the makers canceled the actors' contracts.
The end of
"Mindhunter"
was not yet sealed, because as reported by Screen Rant magazine, a spokesman for producer
David Fincher
pointed out that the makers "may return to" Mindhunter "in the future".
In the meantime, Fincher was working on the Netflix movie
"Mank,"
which is due to open soon.
In the course of this he gave an interview to Vulture magazine, in which he also
talks
about
"Mindhunter"
.
According to him, the shooting of the second season was quite difficult for him.
He is therefore not sure whether he would like to venture into a third season: “[The production] covers a 90-hour week.
She takes everything in your life.
When I finished, I was very exhausted and I said, 'I don't know if I can do a third season right now. "

Premature "Mindhunter" exit?
David Fincher names other reasons for the possible end of the series
When Vulture asked if
Mindhunter would
not continue, Fincher replied rather vaguely: “I think maybe.
Be careful, the production was very expensive in relation to the number of viewers.
We [Netflix and Fincher] talked about 'stopping' first and then we'll see how I feel '.
But I honestly believe that we can't produce Season 3 for less money than Season 2.
And to a certain extent you have to be realistic that dollars have to be proportionate to eyeballs [a high audience]. "
He points out that
"Mindhunter" is
a very expensive series that
Netflix
may not want to continue.
In addition, the current corona situation makes shooting difficult anyway.
But there is still hope: Screen Rant mentions that a
Netflix spokesman
thinks
a sequel
may be possible
in
five years
.
