The plot of Mindhunter Season 3

Mindhunter is a crime based thriller that is based on a true crime book. The story follows two FBI officers Holden Ford and Invoice Tench. 

They are involved in interviewing serial killers from all around the world and prepare a report on their emotional habits. They also help outlaws enforcement personals in investigating their cases.

Mindhunter has an engaging storyline which is quite different. The first two seasons were a huge hit and was loved by everyone. Fans are eagerly waiting to know what happens next. The sad thing is that not even the trailer of season 3 is out yet. Unless any new updates are passed, you will have to wait.

Why did Mindhunter end so abruptly?

In one of the interviews recently in February 2023, David Fincher said that the entire team had been quite proud of the show and how well they have made the first two seasons.

However, when it came down to the third season, Fincher clarified that it was quite difficult to proceed since they had a lot of economical mismatches. He said that creating a show like Mindhunter was becoming quite expensive and it didn’t make sense for them to proceed with creating another season.

This was one of the reasons why they decided to bench the show after the first two seasons.
