Based on the memoirs of FBI agent John Douglas, the story revolves around a pair of FBI agents (Groff and McCallany) and a psychologist (Torv) who run the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. They start a project to interview imprisoned serial killers in hopes of using that knowledge to catch others.
Season two came to Netflix in August 2019, and the cast were released from their contracts. Fincher confirmed the end of the series in an interview, via TV Line:
"I'm very proud of the first two seasons. But it's a very expensive series and in the eyes of Netflix, we didn't draw enough audiences to justify such an investment for season three. I don't blame them, they have taken risks to get the series off the ground... It's a blessing to be able to work with people who are capable of daring. The day our desires aren't the same, we have to be honest about breaking up."
In an earlier interview, there was still hope that the series would return with new episodes.
