The actor, who had a brief appearance on "Justice League," also revealed that "Mindhunter" has a multiple season potential. All that's missing is an official word from Netflix.
"I'm excited to do more with the character of Bill Tench," McCallany stated. "I can really explore this guy over a long period of time."
Filming for "Mindhunter" season 2 is expected to begin in early 2018. Fincher hinted in an interview with Billboard that the story will focus on the Atlanta Child Murders and so he will infuse more African-American music in the series.
In actual history, the FBI caught Wayne Williams and convicted him with the murder of two kids in Atlanta. The authorities believe, however, that he's also responsible for all 28 gruesome murders of African American children, teenagers and young adults in the city despite his denial.
"Mindhunter" delves into the psychology of serial killers like Williams. It's based on a book by actual FBI profiler, John E. Douglas, who helped the bureau pin down Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Charles Manson.
Joining McCallany on the show are Jonathan Groff (Holden Ford), whose character is based on Douglas, and Anna Torv (Wendy Carr), the psychologist consultant. The first season of "Mindhunter" still streams on Netflix with 10 episodes.
