While fans eagerly anticipate a third season, **Mindhunter season 3 is currently not in development.** Despite the show's critical acclaim and dedicated fanbase, Netflix put the series on indefinite hold in January 2020, releasing the cast from their contracts. David Fincher, the show's executive producer and director, has expressed exhaustion with the demanding production schedule and high budget. Though Fincher hasn't ruled out returning to the project in the future, possibly with a different approach, there are no concrete plans for Mindhunter season 3 at this time.
