It’s been two years since the first season of Mindhunter debuted on Netflix to rave reviews, and the timing couldn’t be better for the highly anticipated second season of David Fincher’s serial killer series. Jonathan Groff‘s FBI Agent Holden Ford, Holt McCallany‘s Agent Bill Trench, and Anna Torv‘s Dr. Wendy Carr return, this time to investigate the racially charged Atlanta Child Murders of the late ’70s and come face-to-face with Charles Manson, played by Damon Herriman…who also plays Manson in Quentin Tarantino’s recently released Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Watch the official Mindhunter season 2 trailer below.

Inspired by the real-life early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling, Mindhunter follows two FBI agents, played by Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany, who team up with psychologist (Anna Torv) to start studying serial killers.

The trio also catch back up with Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton) and meet up with an imprisoned Charles Manson.

Season 2 stars Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, Anna Torv, Joe Tuttle, Albert Jones, Stacey Roca, Michael Cerveris, Lauren Glazier, and Sierra McClain.
