After a long wait, the popular podcast Serial is finally back for Season 3. Read on for details about the new season and what we know about when you can expect new episodes to premiere.

But has Netflix given season three the green light?

The answer, unfortunately, is no (at the moment), but Holt McCallany, who plays Special Agent Bill Tench, previously told Pop Culturethat he is not only hopeful of a third season, but two more on top of that.

Serial Season 3 Episode Release Schedule

According to a press release, that seems like what Serial Season 3 might be attempting. The overall scope is large — the criminal justice system — but it immediately starts narrowing that down. Producer Julie Snyder revealed the tentative date for Serial's third season to Esquire.com during a conversation about the This American Life team's upcoming. Tool Should Not Release a New Album. About TV show Anne with an E season 3. In August 2018, CBC and Netflix renewed the series for a 10-episode third season to premiere in 2019. Anne with an E season 3 release date - 2019, to be announced.

'I don't think anybody knows right now, in August of 2019, exactly what lies in store for Holden and Bill, and Wendy,' he said. 'We are hopeful that we will get to do the whole five seasons because the audience seems to have really responded to the show, people really like the show. And we're very proud of the show, and very excited to keep making the show.'

Dev Serial Season 3 Release Date

We all know that Netflix isn't afraid to cancel big titles (Santa Clarita Diet, Designated Survivor and The OA recently fell victim to the chop), but canning Mindhunter at this stage could well be the final straw for many of the platform's subscribers.

It would also probably damage a very important relationship the streaming service has with the show's director/producer David Fincher.

So you can definitely expect it to return. Here's everything you need to know about Mindhunter season three.

Mindhunter season 3 release date: When will it premiere?

Season one exploded onto screens all the way back in October 2017, but we then had to wait until August this year (2019) for the second chapter, which was nothing short of agonising.

The level of detail and research required to make Mindhunter is extensive, so we're predicting another long wait.

And it might be a really long wait, as David Fincher is prioritising his next movie (also with Netflix) first.

It's a biopic centred on Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz, titled Mank.

And Fincher doesn’t exactly move fast. As Jonathan Groff (who plays Holden Ford) noted (via IndieWire), 'David was really specific with us about every single word, and every single turn of the scene; he was critically specific about the purpose. On the days of shooting, we would go in the room, sit down, and talk about how leaning forward could change the dynamic of a conversation.'

Mindhunter season 3 cast: Who's in it?

If we get a renewal, we'd expect to see Special Agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) back on our screens, alongside psychology professor / FBI consultant Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), Special Agent Gregg Smith (Joe Tuttle), Bill's wife Nancy (Stacey Roca), FBI Chief Ted Gunn (Michael Cerveris), Bill and Nancy's adopted son Brian (Zachary Scott Ross), and the 'BTK killer' Dennis Rader (Sonny Valicenti).

There's also a possibility we could see Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton) once again, as well as a whole host of other serial killers that Holden and Bill haven't yet interviewed.

Netflix

Special Agent Jim Barney (Albert Jones) appeared briefly in season one, when he interviewed for a job opening in the FBI's Behavioural Science Unit, but was pipped to the post by Gregg. He did, however, feature heavily in season two during the Atlanta child murders investigation. Whether we'll see him again remains to be seen.

But it feels unlikely that Holden's former love interest Debbie Mitford (Hannah Gross), who didn't pop up at all in season two, or Lauren Glazier, who played Kay Manz, the bartender Wendy had a brief relationship with, will return.

Mindhunter season 3 episodes: How many will there be?

The first season had ten episodes, while season two went one fewer – so at this moment in time, your guess is as good as ours.

Mindhunter season 3 serial killers: Who will feature?

The first two seasons have included a number of serial killers, each with their individual stories, compulsions and modus operandi. Alongside Ed Kemper and Dennis Rader, we've seen the likes of Jerome 'Jerry' Brudos, David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), Montie Rissell and Richard Speck.

If season three gets the go-ahead, Rader will definitely be back, and there's a chance Kemper will also. But what about the show's new recruits?

Netflix

Viewers have been speculating about which serial killers could make an appearance and Ted Bundy's name has been floated.

Season two was set between 1980–81, during which time Bundy was in prison. He remained behind bars for nine years until he was executed via the electric chair in 1989 at the Florida State Prison in Raiford, Florida after eventually admitting to 30 murders, although it's believed that he was responsible for more.

Netflix

There's also a thread on Reddit in which people have been making their predictions. The likes of 'Butcher Baker' Robert Hansen, 'Green River Killer' Gary Ridgway, 'Night Stalker' Richard Ramirez and 'Milwaukee Cannibal' Jeffrey Dahmer are all names that have been mentioned.

Serial killers were prolific in the 1980s – according to the BBC, 'There were at least 200 such murderers operating in the United States alone' – so Fincher certainly has a wealth of high-profile names to choose from.

But which subjects will be selected depends on season three's time frame.

Of course, if we want real insight into where the show might be heading, the best place to go is John Douglas, the criminal profiler who provides the basis for Holden Ford. And there's still a few loose threads hanging.

'By 1981, not only did I have the Atlanta child killings, but I had the Tylenol murders,' Douglas told Vulture. 'We had the Unabomber case up in Chicago. Then we had other cases, Buffalo’s .22-caliber killer.'

Whether he realises it or not, the killers Douglas mentions would combine to create a pretty satisfying dramatic arc for season three.

The Unabomber wasn't caught until 1996, one year after Douglas retired from the FBI, so while he'd be interesting as a subplot, he couldn't form the main arc. He's probably the most 'famous' (infamous?) of the potential options, though.

The Tylenol murders weren't actually solved, but they did inspire copycat killers who were investigated and with their cases resolved, and the idea of a killer who poisoned his victims (and inspired such a wave of other killers) makes it a unique case for the Mindhunter gang to investigate (as opposed to all the sexually-motivated crimes they've covered so far). Again, a great subplot.

However, the main arc could go to the .22-caliber killer Douglas mentions. The 10-victim serial murderer was motivated by race hate, which would allow the show to further explore wider social tensions. Significantly, the killer – Joseph Christopher – was actually caught in 1981, which would make for a satisfying ending to the season.

Telly’s Take

Will History cancel or renew Six for season three? The ratings are way down year-to-year so I think Six will be cancelled. If it is renewed, I believe it will be because History wants to keep it around to continue to establish the channel as a home for original scripted dramas. For now, I’ll keep a hungry eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Six cancellation or renewal alerts.
