“To catch a monster… you have to think like one. Again.”

The wait is over. The critically acclaimed psychological crime thriller Mindhunter returns in a bold, chilling second season that plunges deeper into the shadows of the human mind.

Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany reprise their roles as FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench, pioneers of behavioral profiling, now navigating the murky moral and political waters of early 1980s America. As the Behavioral Science Unit expands under mounting pressure from Washington and the public eye, a disturbing new pattern begins to emerge — a string of serial murders across state lines with no apparent motive… but with eerily coordinated rituals.

The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: something is evolving. The killers are changing — becoming smarter, more methodical, and terrifyingly united by something unseen.

Enter Tom Cruise as Dr. Marcus Kell, a brilliant, enigmatic criminal psychologist whose unorthodox insights may be key to unlocking the mystery… if the team can figure out who he really is. His credentials are impeccable — but his past is buried in sealed files and whispered rumors.

At the same time, John Cena joins the cast as Special Agent Reece Danner, a former military interrogator sent by higher-ups to “monitor” Ford and Tench’s increasingly controversial methods — though his presence may be more about control than support.

As egos clash, secrets unravel, and new predators surface, the unit is forced to confront a terrifying question:

What happens when the profiler becomes the profiled?

With its signature cerebral tone, gritty realism, and haunting tension, Mindhunter: Into the Abyss expands the series into darker, more dangerous territory. This season explores not just the birth of modern profiling — but the cost of peering too long into the abyss.
