Asif Kapadia, who has direcred two episodes of Netflix FBI crime series Mindhunter Season 1, has said that if fans band together and demand a third instalment, the makers might just agree.

In a recent tweet, he wrote that audiences around the world need to let Netflix know that they are keen on watching Season 3 of the David Fincher-produced show.

His tweet was in response to Netflix's announcement of a film docuseries VOIR executive produced by Fincher. VOIR is slated to premiere at the AFI Fest on 13 November, and a streaming date is yet to be announced.

Here is the tweet:

Last year, Fincher had said Mindhunter would not return for another season due to low viewership. The filmmaker had told Vulture that he was "probably" done with the show because it was a costly project for him. However, he had said that he might revisit the show after he's finished pursuing other projects.

"I think probably. Listen, for the viewership that it had, it was an expensive show. We talked about 'Finish Mank and then see how you feel,' but I honestly don't think we're going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs," he said.

Besides Voir the director has an assassin drama in the pipeline titled The Killer another one of his many collaborations with Netflix. Fincher has previously worked with Netflix on the multiple Emmy winning political drama House of Cards, crime thriller series Mindhunter, animated series Love, Death and Robots, and the recent Oscar winner Mank.

The first season of Mindhunter was released in October 2017, followed by a second outing in 2019. The show follows FBI agents Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) and Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), who try to study and analyse the psyches of serial killers in the 1970s.
