Mindhunter Season 3: Will it return to Apple TV+ in 2023? Here’s what you need to know
Based on the 1995 true-crime book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker, Mindhunter is an American psychological crime thriller television series developed by Joe Penhall that aired in 2017. Penhall, Charlize Theron, and David Fincher are the executive producers. The latter has been the series’ most frequent director and de facto showrunner, directing many of the scriptwriting and production procedures. The series, which stars Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv, covers the establishment of the Behavioral Science Section of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the late 1970s and the start of criminal profiling.

Mindhunter Season 3: Why is it not happening?
Despite David Fincher’s assurance that Mindhunter fans may not receive a third season, there are persistent speculations that it will be released soon. This is only partially accurate due to the exponential fan base of the first two successful seasons. Fincher revealed in October 2020 that Netflix will not pick up Mindhunter for a third season. Vulture reports that a third season “maybe in five years” is possible.
