About Mindhunter
Mindhunter follows FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench interviewing imprisoned killers to build criminal profiling from 1977, starting with Kemper and Brudos in season 1 from 2017. Season 2 from 2019 moves into the Atlanta child murders with the BTK stalker teased throughout.
The show was put on indefinite hold in 2020 with the cast released, and Fincher later said its cost outran its audience for a third season. Nineteen episodes across two seasons form the complete run. Watch season 1 then season 2 in order for the straight 1977 to 1981 climb.
Good to know
Release order is story order across the late-70s Behavioral Science Unit. Season 1 runs ten episodes and season 2 runs nine, ending on an unresolved Atlanta aftermath and BTK cliffhanger. Revival talk resurfaces periodically, including 2026 comments, but no third season is ordered. This two-season list is complete as the show stands.
