ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This show is so secretive.
I dont know what happens after season 2.
There were scripts that were written and there was a bible for the first five seasons.

Now it was just very broad strokes but it existed.
We were permitted to read it.
There are so many stories about David Fincher and doing multiple takes.
Jonathan, you had never worked with him before.
How was it?GROFF:Theres this mysterious aura about him going in.
But then the revelation for me is that he just loves to work and wants to make something great.
David, I dont know when he sleeps.
He just is obsessive and loves working.
We ended up having an amazing time for the 10 months we were there.
Anything is possible and we dont know what the future holds.
The idea of talking to these people and gleaning information from them was completely new.
So theyre breaking ground and falling on their face and trying for the first time.
If hes seen to be having long meetings with FBI agents, what are the possible repercussions for him?
What are those interrogation scenes like to film?
Theyre long scenes and dialogue-heavy.GROFF:My audition scenes were these long, 15-page scenes.
I had never read anything like that for a film or TV audition only a theater audition.
Its a running theme throughout the show.
We do these long, deep-dive interview scenes and I fing loved it!
Its so psychological and so intense.
In some ways, those scenes are our action scenes.
You just never see that on television.
The guy that plays Ed Kemper is incredible.
Did you guys get freaked out in these scenes?McCALLANY:That kids name is Cameron Britton.
Talk about a breakout performance thats going to put a young actor on the map.
I think David really liked him and everyone talks about how amazing his performance is.
What can you say about the rest of the season?
Both my character and Holts character are having existential crises in their lives.
It gets incredibly complicated.
The way David lays it out is, its this slow burn.
The arc of the season isnt arched like a normal television show.
Its over these 10 episodes but some are longer and some are shorter.
Its more like a novel.
From where we begin and where we end, theres a whole world.
Do we meet Bills family?McCALLANY:You will meet my family in subsequent episodes.
Bill is in a marriage thats failing.
Hes got an adopted son whos troubled and with who he has a difficult relationship.
Hes kind of running away.
Hes kind of a guy whos no longer chasing a promotion.
We sort of fake empathy with these guys to get information from them.
So what was this mans journey?
What is it that makes a guy commit a heinous crime like that?
Its fascinating to me.
All 10 episodes ofMindhunterare now available to stream on Netflix.
