David Fincher Says He Is ‘Probably’ Done With ‘Mindhunter’

“I think probably. Listen, for the viewership that it had, it was an expensive show. We talked about Finish ‘Mank’ and then see how you feel,’ but I honestly don’t think we’re going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs,” the filmmaker said. Fincher further said that the show was a “lot for me” as he spent six to seven months a year for over three years in Pittsburgh in order to work on the series.

“We had done the first season of Mindhunter’ without a showrunner, with me pinch-hitting on a week-by-week basis. We started getting scripts for the second season, and I ended up looking at what was written and deciding I didn’t like any of it. So we tossed it and started over. “I brought in Courtenay Miles, an AD I’d worked with who wanted to write, and she ended up co-showrunning Mindhunter.’ But it’s a 90-hour work week. It absorbs everything in your life. When I got done, I was pretty exhausted, and I said, I don’t know if I have it in me right now to break season three’,” the director said.

Fincher’s upcoming movie is “Mank”, based on the life of “Citizen Kane” screenwriter Herman J Mankiewicz. The movie will be released on Netflix on December 4.
