David Fincher appeared on the KCRW podcast, “The Treatment”, where he announced that “Mindhunter” Season 2 will premiere on Netflix August 16th. The date comes directly out of Fincher’s mouth, although Netflix has yet to officially announce the date. We expect a trailer out of next week’s San Diego Comic-Con.

The new season will explore the “Atlanta child murders,” a series of killings between 1979-1981. At least 28 African American children, teenagers, and adults were killed during that time.

Not much else is known about Season 2, but we have heard that Damon Herriman is playing Charles Manson. Oddly, Herriman also plays Manson in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
