David Fincher tells Vulture that “Mindhunter” is likely done at Netflix. Out promoting new series “Mank”, the “Fight Club” helmer says it’s his call to conclude the series where it’s at. “We lived there for almost three years. Not year in and year out, but … probably six or seven months a year. Mindhunter was a lot for me. It’s a 90-hour workweek. It absorbs everything in your life. When I got done, I was pretty exhausted, and I said, ‘I don’t know if I have it in me right now to break season three.’ For the viewership that it had, it was a very 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 – dollars have to equal eyeballs.”
