Plot

Mindhunter revolves around FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), along with psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), who operate the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit within the Training Division at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. They interview imprisoned serial killers to understand how they think, with the hope of applying this knowledge to solve ongoing cases.[7]

Season one is set in 1977 to 1980, in the early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Notorious serial killer Edmund Kemper (Cameron Britton) has a recurring role in this season as he assists Ford and Tench in understanding how a serial killer's mind works.

Season two is set in 1980 through 1981 and covers the Atlanta murders of 1979–81.[8] This is based on the real case of Wayne Williams who was charged for the murder of two adult men but was never found guilty of killing at least 28 children and/or adolescents.

Development and production

The development of Mindhunter began in 2009 when Charlize Theron gave a non-fiction crime book titled Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit to David Fincher.[12][13] In January 2010 the Mindhunter project was set up at Fox 21, which had optioned the book, along with premium cable channel HBO. Scott Buck was tapped to write the pilot.[14][15] Fincher, who was mostly known as a director and producer in films, felt at that time that television was "completely foreign" until he worked on the political drama House of Cards, for which he co-produced and directed the first two episodes.[12] When Fincher finally felt comfortable with television as a medium after doing House of Cards,[12] Theron suggested playwright and screenwriter Joe Penhall as the project's writer,[12][13] replacing Buck.[15] In December 2015, Mindhunter was moved to streaming service Netflix,[13][15] with Fox 21 dropping out of the project.[15]

In February 2016 Netflix announced that the production of Mindhunter would be based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[16] Filming began in May 2016,[17] and open casting calls were held on April 16 and June 25, 2016.[18][19] Episode 9 of season 1 was filmed in Moundsville, West Virginia at the West Virginia State Penitentiary.[20] The series was renewed for a second season before its premiere on Netflix.[21]

The character of Holden Ford is loosely based on FBI agent John E. Douglas, on whose book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit the show is based.[22][23] The character of Bill Tench is based on pioneering FBI agent Robert K. Ressler.[24] Wendy Carr is a fictional character based on psychiatric forensic nurse researcher Ann Wolbert Burgess,[25][26] a prominent Boston College nursing professor who collaborated with the FBI agents in the Behavioral Science Unit and procured grants to conduct research on serial murderers, serial rapists, and child molesters.[27][28] Her work is based on treating survivors of sexual trauma and abuse, and studying the thought process of violent offenders.[28] The serial killer characters were modeled on the actual convicted criminals and their prison scene dialogues were taken from real interviews.[29] Although not explicitly stated, it is implied that the ADT serviceman seen in several short vignettes throughout the first season is Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer.[30][31] This is clarified in the second season.[32]

The musical score is written by Jason Hill.[33]

The second season was originally reported to consist of eight episodes;[34] however, the season ultimately contained nine episodes. Shooting took place between April and December 2018.[35] Directors for the second season were Fincher, Andrew Dominik, and Carl Franklin.[36]

In November 2019, it was reported that a potential third season had been put on indefinite hold until Fincher finished working on his next film, Mank.[37] Fincher plans to make five seasons.[38] In January 2020, Netflix announced that the cast had been released from their contracts and that the series was on indefinite hold, as Fincher was busy with other projects. A Netflix spokesperson stated, "He may revisit Mindhunter again in the future, but in the meantime felt it wasn't fair to the actors to hold them from seeking other work while he was exploring new work of his own."[6]

After being bribed with Big Red, Rissell reveals the same hate for his mother as Kemper. Tench gets into a car accident. In Altoona, Pennsylvania, Tench and Ford join local police officer Mark Ocasek in investigating the murder of Beverly Jean Shaw, an "engaged" 22-year-old babysitter.
