David Fincher’s “Mindhunter” Returns on August 16th!
David Fincher appeared on the KCRW podcast, “The Treatment”, where he announced that “Mindhunter” Season 2 will premiere on Netflix August 16th. The date comes directly out of Fincher’s mouth, although Netflix has yet to officially announce the date. We expect a trailer out of next week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
The new season will explore the “Atlanta child murders,” a series of killings between 1979-1981. At least 28 African American children, teenagers, and adults were killed during that time.
Not much else is known about Season 2, but we have heard that Damon Herriman is playing Charles Manson. Oddly, Herriman also plays Manson in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Wyatt Russell‘s Colonel Lee Shaw is getting his own “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series, and Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot, I.S.S.) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) have joined the cast.
What’s more is that Sweetheart filmmaker J.D. Dillard has been set to direct the pilot episode.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the as-yet-untitled spinoff.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Details beyond that remain scarce, including what characters Asbaek and Brady will place. The Cold War setting suggests a very different direction and tone from the spinoff’s parent series, though.
The series will reunite Pilous Asbæk with his Overlord co-star, Wyatt Russell.
Expect the Legendary’s MonsterVerse to continue to grow; Harold has also signed an overall deal with Legendary to oversee the Monsterverse franchise for Apple TV, featuring both new and fan-favorite Titans.
Producers on the upcoming spinoff include Kei Banno, Brian Rogers, and Kenji Okuhira. Russell and Harold will executive produce alongside Tory Tunnell, Chris Black, Kyle Bradstreet, Alex Boden, Max Borenstein, Andy Goddard, Hiro Matsuoka, and Takemasa Arita.
