David Fincher's "Mindhunter" remains one of the most popular Netflix series that was ended far too soon.
A fan-favorite with near-perfect review scores, "Mindhunter" followed FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) as well as psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) as they establish the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU), tracking crimes and violent acts executed by serial offenders.

According to an article from Charles Papadopoulos of ScreenRant, McCallany has recently spoken to Fincher about possibly bringing the crime series back to Netflix. However, it would be different what it was before.
'MINDHUNTER' could potentially return in the form of 3 2-hour movies.
Holt McCallany met with David Fincher, who floated the idea — 'David has to be happy with scripts.'

"So look, you know, I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies," McCallany said, "but I think it's just a chance.
"I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts."

However, McCallany wanted to be careful getting fans' hopes up too much, noting this was just a chance and that "the sun, the moon, and the stars would all have to align" for "Mindhunter" to make its triumphant return.
"And I felt very fortunate and privileged to have gotten to do that show at all," McCallany continued. "I would love it if it were to return. I think, like I said, you know, he gave me a little bit of hope when I had that meeting with him, but the sun, the moon, and the stars would all have to align.
"The good news is that we're at Netflix with The Waterfront, and those movies would also be for Netflix. So I think that in terms of dates and logistics, it could all be worked out, but it has to do, you know, with David really having the time and the inclination and being happy, you know, with the material. And, you know, that's a big question mark."

Squid Game Season 3 Original Ending
🚨MASSIVE 🚨 Spoilers follow for the end of Squid Game. The third and final season of the Netflix global smash Squid Game hit the streaming service this weekend — and there's a good chance you've already watched the whole thing, up until the shocking conclusion. Brief refresher, in case you somehow already forgot: In the final episode, the show's protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) decides to kill himself, effectively making the newborn daughter of Players 222 and 333 the winner of the competition — and, as the Front Man takes her to safety, the 45.6 billion won prize. Well, in a new interview with Variety, the show's creator Hwang Dong-hyuk says that the series almost ended way differently — and in much more shocking fashion, too. 'When I had a vague idea about what kind of story I wanted to tell through Seasons 2 and 3, I actually had a different ending in mind,' he said. 'And then as I went through the writing process, as I created my characters, as I laid out the foundation and the outline of the story, and as I drew out the map for Gi-hun's character arc, I realized, this shouldn't be the way this story ends — and this is a better ending, or the right ending, for this arc." "And so there was actually a very drastic change in the ending compared to when I just had only a vague idea about the story, and then when I really got into the writing process.' 'In the finale, Gi-hun makes a choice," Hwang added, "and originally, when I was just thinking about where the story was going to take me, it was actually the exact opposite choice.' Yikes. Does that going to kill a baby? Wild stuff, if so. You can read the rest of the interview right here.

Meghan Markle rocks leg-lengthening mini shorts in stunning beach photo
The Duchess of Sussex solidified her style credentials at the weekend as she shared a stunning snapshot of herself running along the beach. The joyful image, which was shared to Instagram on Saturday, showed the former Suits actress looking ultra-chic in a monochromatic linen get-up comprising a pair of leg-lengthening mini shorts in white, an oversized, cream linen shirt and a pair of tan leather sandals. Meghan, 43, spruced up her beachy look with a wide-brim straw hat, dark sunglasses and a cluster of golden bangles. She had her raven locks swept away from her face, and appeared in her element as she strode away from the shoreline with a huge smile on her face. "That weekend feeling," she penned in her caption alongside the sun and musical note emojis. Over on her official As Ever Instagram page, meanwhile, the mother-of-two shared a glimpse inside her wholesome weekend plans. In a nod to her passion for foraging, the Duchess uploaded a picture of herself picking ripe fruit from a tree in her garden. Embracing the sunshine, Meghan could be seen wearing a simple white blouse and a straw hat embossed with the letter 'M'. In her caption, she wrote: "Weekend plans: pick, snack, repeat." Meghan launched her lifestyle brand earlier this year following the release of her Netflix show titled With Love, Meghan. As part of her brand's soft launch, the Duchess reportedly sent 50 jars of jam to the likes of fashion designer Tracy Robbins and polo player Nacho Figueras' wife Delfina Blaquier. A tagline on her brand's website reads: "What began with a small pot of fresh fruit preserves, bubbling away in my home kitchen, has inspired this curated collection to bring surprise and delight to your every day." Following the success of her initial product launches, Meghan has recently added an array of new items, including an apricot spread, honey and a rosé wine which is set for release on 1 July. "With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining," a description for the rosé reads. In her recent podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan hinted that As Ever's direction would defy traditional marketing tactics often seen in luxury circles, including the now-commonplace "scarcity drop" approach. "I want to move away from that scarcity mentality," she explained. "I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time."

Woman Tries to Crash Musician's Set, He's Forced to Take Desperate Measures
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A musician was forced to take drastic action after a woman gate-crashed a recent gig, in an incident caught on camera. Aaron W. Evans has been performing in bars and other live venues across the United Kingdom for over a decade. "I turned professional at the start of this year, and play 3-5 gigs a week, whether that be pubs, weddings, care homes or anything else in between," Evans told Newsweek. Though it can be exhausting work, with often unsociable hours, the adrenaline rush Evans feels while on stage has never diminished. "I love hearing people sing along," he said. "Nothing compares to playing a recognizable opening riff, or singing the first line of a huge track and hearing the collective reaction around the room. Nothing I've found in life beats that." According to the American Psychological Association, music is capable of relieving some of the symptoms of depression and elevating mood. Research has shown that music can boost the brain's production of dopamine and serotonin, and also reduce cortisol levels. Music can also lead to some undesirable outcomes, particularly when combined with alcohol. Evans discovered this during an incident he was able to capture on camera. "I film all of my gigs," he said. "Mainly to extract good clips for social media and advertising, but also in the event that something does happen to me, or any of my equipment, I have sufficient video evidence to be able to claim damages through my public liability insurance." On this particular occasion, he filmed a woman in the crowd who attempted to disrupt Evans's gig while he was singing a version of the Eurythmics hit "Sweet Dreams." Up until that point, Evans said there was "no indication" that he would be in for a difficult set. Aaron Evans found himself being unexpectedly approached by a woman in the crowd while singing at a pub. Aaron Evans found himself being unexpectedly approached by a woman in the crowd while singing at a pub. TikTok/aaronwevans "I'm very used to groups of people enjoying themselves over a few drinks, and that night in question was immediately after the last Premier League game, so was busier than normal and rowdier too," he said. "The lady in the video was in a group with a few other women, and weren't problematic in the slightest to begin with. They were singing along and enjoying themselves at their table." Evans usually plays "Sweet Dreams" to finish his set and said that, as he got nearly halfway through the song, "nothing seemed out of the ordinary." As the video shows, that quickly changed, as the woman made her way over to where Evans was playing. "She asked to use the microphone, and I shook my head to indicate I wasn't going to allow that," Evans said. "She lingered by my side for a second and then began to dance, leaning into me as I was playing. After a few seconds, I realized she wasn't going to stop, so put a little distance between us to try and discourage her from touching me. She adjusted, and shifted her weight towards me, standing on my loop station." Eager to avoid any "further risk" of damage to his equipment or even himself, Evans decided to cut the song short. "She went back over to her friends and nothing further was said," Evans said. "One of her friends apologized to me through laughter as I made my way off stage." Despite the disruption, Evans understands things like this can happen. "I suppose it's part and parcel of playing in pubs and bars where alcohol is readily available," he said. Evans decided to share the video on his TikTok account, @aaronwevans, "in the hope of showing people that boundaries absolutely must be respected at all times." "If one person sees the video and thinks twice before making their way into a musician's space, then it will have done what I intended for," he said. It has certainly had a big impact, with 5.5 million views and counting. Not all of the comments on the video have been supportive. "You should have let her sing. It's a pub and she was having a good time," one user said. Though Evans has a "thick skin" to negative comments, he feels some crossed a line with "abhorrent" remarks about his appearance and abilities. His response to trolls is: "Be kind, be respectful, and make the world a happier place."
