  • ‘Mindhunter’ Season Trailer Ratchets Up the Tension to Killer Levels

    ‘Mindhunter’ Season Trailer Ratchets Up the Tension to Killer Levels

    Netflix

    Who knows how to catch a killer better than other killers?

    Netflix dropped the Season 2 trailer for “Mindhunter,” the drama that explores the early days of criminal profiling at the FBI. The first season began to delve into how FBI agents interviewed locked-up murderers to understand they psychologies and Season 2 goes even further — and darker.

    Jonathan​ ​Groff and Holt​ ​McCallany are back as FBI agents Holden​ ​Ford and Bill Tench, as is Anna Torv as psychology professor Wendy Carr.

    In the trailer, convicted killer Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton) teases the agents when they return to interview him. “Have you got someone, Holt, someone you can’t catch?”

    The answer is yes. Season 2 is set in 1979-1981, during the time of the Atlanta child murders. African-American serial killer Wayne Williams was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for killing two adult males. Williams, however, was never tried for any of the child murders, but was suspected of being involved with 23 of them.

    In order to crack the case, Ford and Tench turn to such iconic serial killers as Son of Sam and Charles Manson (played by Damon Herriman, who also plays the cult leader in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”).

    All eight episodes of “Mindhunter” Season 2 will begin streaming August 16 on Netflix.

    The pics feature stars Jonathan​ ​Groff and Holt​ ​McCallany as FBI agents Holden​ ​Ford and Bill Tench, as well as Anna Torv as psychology professor Wendy Carr.

    They also confirm what executive producer and series director David Fincher has said about the story — it is in 1979-1981, during the time of the Atlanta child murders. African-American serial killer Wayne Williams was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for killing two adult males. Williams, however, was never tried for any of the child murders, but was suspected of being involved with 23 of them.

    In order to crack the case, Ford and Tench turn to such iconic serial killers as Charles Manson (photo below) and Son of Sam.

    Damon Herriman plays Manson in “Mindhunter” and Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

  • ‘Mindhunter’ Season 2 Reportedly Has Same Charles Manson Actor as Tarantino Film

    ‘Mindhunter’ Season 2 Reportedly Has Same Charles Manson Actor as Tarantino Film

    Imagine being typecast as Charles Manson. You’d have to do some soul-searching about that.

    “Justified” actor Damon Herriman was just announced to be playing Charles Manson in Quentin Tarantino‘s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” That film has the backdrop of the Manson Family murders of actress Sharon Tate and others in August 1969.

    But Collider just reported that David Fincher already cast Herriman as Charles Manson for Netflix’s “Mindhunter” Season 2.

    “Mindhunter” Season 2 is set in the ’80s, when Charles Manson was already in prison. Herriman was reportedly cast a long time ago, and already shot his “Mindhunter” scenes in July.

    It’s not clear yet when “Mindhunter” Season 2 will premiere on Netflix, but QT got the jump on Fincher when it comes to announcing the casting.

    Herriman must’ve done a damn good job to be cast in the role twice, and maybe QT liked the idea of showing the same guy as Manson in the ’60s and then the ’80s — as if the projects are part of the same universe.

    Because we’d 100 percent be down for a David Fincher-Quentin Tarantino shared universe. In case anyone’s asking.

    “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is scheduled for release in theaters on July 26, 2019. “Mindhunter” Season 1 released in October 2017, and can now be streamed on Netflix, but we’re still waiting on a Season 2 date.
