Fans of Netflix’s Mindhunter have finally been told that the series isn’t returning — years after it ended. But the writing was on the wall before that. First there was the long silence after Season 2, then the news that the cast had been released from their contracts because the series was on “indefinite hold.” Letting all of a show’s actors move on to other opportunities is a death knell; just ask the stars of All Rise. Plus the use of the term indefinite made very clear it wasn’t in anyone’s immediate future.Yet Netflix can’t blame viewers for being unable to let go. Aside from the huge delay in getting a definitive answer, Mindhunter Season 3 had an incredible amount of potential, based on where Season 2 left off as well as the real-life events that inspired the show. Just like there had been a step up in suspense and tension between Season 1 and Season 2, the third season would have raised the bar even higher. It could even have led to the awards recognition that the series rarely got and always deserved.The most obvious argument to make for Mindhunter Season 3 was that the series clearly had a plan for it. Season 2 featured chilling scenes that set up the introduction of BTK, making it obvious that he would be the primary antagonist of the following season. One of the strengths of the show was that each season had a clear story arc and maintained a high level of tension throughout. While it would be very difficult to top the bone-chilling work done by Cameron Britton — who followed playing Ed Kemper with the first season of another Netflix hit, The Umbrella Academy — BTK is such a well-known and disturbing serial killer that Season 3 could certainly have come close. Season 1 may have given Holden Ford nightmares, but Season 3 would’ve given the audience nightmares.RELATED: RUMOR: Netflix Wants David Fincher to Direct an American Squid Game Remake
