Netflix has released the firstMindhunterSeason 2 trailer, offering a first look at the new season ofDavid Fincher’s hourlong drama series.Mindhunterlaunched in 2017 from creatorJoe Penhallas an adaptation of the true crime bookMindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Serial Crime Unit. The series chronicles the early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling in the FBI, with Season 1 focused on the research-gathering of the small team as they interviewed incarcerated serial killers to better understand what made them do what they did.
Fincher took creative lead on the series, directing four out of the 10 episodes in Season 1, and he returns to helm multiple episodes in Season 2.Jonathan Groffreprises his role as special agent Holden Ford, as doesHolt McCallanyas Ford’s partner Bill Tench andAnna Torvas psychology professor Wendy Carr. The second season covers the Atlanta child murders of the late 1970s and early 1980s and also features a significant role for Charles Manson. Unsurprisingly, this trailer looks fantastic and plays with tension in a really great way. Put this in my eyeballs immediately.
