‘World War Z 2’ Not Shooting This Fall; David Fincher’s ‘Mindhunter’ Season 2 Is Next

It didn’t quite pass the smell test considering what was brewing in the works. Earlier this year, reports flew around that David Fincher‘s “World War Z” sequel might be gearing up for a fall 2018 shoot. It seemed unlikely then, given what we were hearing and sources close to the project have confirmed to us that it’s definitely not happening at all. That’s because, quietly in the works, Fincher’s Netflix show “Mindhunter” season two is next. And not only upcoming, but production begins at the end of this month. Fincher and crew have been in pre-production for months holed up in Pittsburgh and they’re gearing up for a lengthy shoot to follow-up their critically-acclaimed serial-killers show starring Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany (“Fight Club“).
