Fear not, David Fincher fanatics, the “Mindhunter” interrogations will continue.

Netflix announced via Instagram and Twitter on Thursday that its critically-acclaimed crime drama has been renewed for a second season less than two months after it bowed on the streaming service.

The Joe Penhall-created series stars Jonathan Groff (“Looking”), Holt McCallany (“Sully”), Anna Torv (“Fringe”), Hannah Gross (“Unless”) and new kid on the block Cameron Britton, who took on the role of serial killer Ed Kemper to rave reviews.

All 10 episodes of the first season of “Mindhunter” premiered on Netflix on Oct. 13.

The series is executive produced by Fincher, along with Joshua Donen, Charlize Theron and Cean Chaffin.

News of the renewal shouldn’t come as much of a shock to fans, as back in October, Fincher was already talking about what he wanted to do with Season 2, before Netflix had formally announced the series had been picked up again.

“Next year we’re looking at the Atlanta child murders, so we’ll have a lot more African-American music which will be nice,” Fincher told Billboard the day after the series dropped, referencing the real-life events of 1979-81, in which 28 African-American children, teenagers and adults were killed.

No release date has been announced for the second season yet.

Caught the 'Mindhunter' Bug? Here Are 11 Shows You Should Stream Next (Photos)

Netflix's latest crime thriller "Mindhunter" is gaining steam--even Stephen King is a fan. If the deep dive into serial killers' psyche has you hooked, we rounded up some more crime shows you'll probably love.
Netflix
"Confession Tapes"

This series of documentaries takes a fascinating look at those who claim their confessions to murder were coerced, involuntary or false.
Netflix
"Making A Murderer"

If you missed the "Making a Murderer" bandwagon, it's not too late to hop on. This documentary was filmed over a decade about a man exonerated for one crime and then the prime suspect of another.
Netflix
"The Keepers"

The mysterious disappearance of Sister Cathy Cesnik in Baltimore in 1969 leads to a much darker secret as her old students investigate her unsolved murder.
Netflix
"Ozark"

Jason Bateman explores his dark side in this drama as he plays a financial adviser who launders money for a drug lord. While it's outside the true-crime genre, it's definitely binge material.
Netflix

Family secrets, a drug ring, murder and the Florida Keys--oh, and Kyle Chandler. What more could you ask for in a dark crime thriller?
Netflix
"Law and Order: The Menendez Murders"

Edie Falco stars in this dramatization of the Menendez brothers' trial for the murder of their parents in Beverly Hills. Like "Mindhunter," it's based on true events but portrayed by actors.
NBC
"The Night Of"

HBO's Emmy-winning limited series dives deep into what happens after Naz (Riz Ahmed) is arrested for a murder he can't remember. It's dark, mysterious and just creepy enough.
HBO
"Criminal Minds"

Now in its 13th season, this series follows the adventures of the agents working in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. If it reminds you of "Mindhunter" in its exploration of why criminals do what they do, that's because some characters were inspired by John E. Douglas, who wrote the book on which the Netflix series is based.
CBS
"American Crime"

This anthology series from ABC has been nominated for several Emmys and Golden Globe Awards. In the first season, a racially charged trial impacts the participants in ways you might not expect.
ABC
"Law and Order: Special Victims Unit"

In its 19th season, "Law and Order" is by now a crime classic. We know you know the intro by heart.
NBC
