This ‘Mindhunter’ Season 2 Trailer Teases Holden’s Most Disturbing Case Yet

At the beginning of last year, a popular podcast called Atlanta Monster took an in-depth look at a string of disturbing murders in Georgia that happened almost exactly 40 years ago. Now, the new Mindhunter season two trailer has arrived, and it promises to spotlight that very same topic: the Atlanta Child Murders. The new full-length trailer, released on Monday, Aug. 5, also mentions infamous criminals like Charles Manson and Son of Sam, and teases that the season will tackle how the public responded to a new awareness of serial killers.

According to the FBI, "approximately 29 African-American children, teens, and young adults—mostly boys—were kidnapped and murdered" in and around Atlanta, Georgia, between the years of 1979 and 1981. These horrific crimes became known as the Atlanta Child Murders. Towards the end of the Atlanta Child Murders investigation, the FBI was called in to help local law enforcement put the case to rest and convict a killer once and for all. This is where the second season of Netflix’s true crime-inspired show will kick off, as director David Fincher recently discussed at-length on KCRW’s The Treatment podcast.

"[The FBI] are the last guys in, they’re trying to help out something that has its own momentum and politics," he told The Treatment in July. "It’s a divided battlefield. They’re coming in to throw this federal umbrella over everything to make everyone feel OK about sharing information."
