鈥淗ow do we get ahead of crazy if we don鈥檛 know how crazy thinks?鈥� That鈥檚 the question posed by Netflix鈥檚 new original series Mindhunter, which will begin streaming October 13.
Set in 1979, two-time Tony-nominated actor Jonathan Groff plays FBI Agent Holden Ford鈥攐ne half of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit team that aims to help local police find serial killers (and get ahead of them) by better understanding their psychology through working with already imprisoned murderers.
The series is based on the book Mind Hunter: Inside FBI鈥檚 Elite Serial Crime Unit, written by Mark Olshaker and John E. Douglas, who is also the inspiration for Groff鈥檚 character. This extended trailer implies Groff鈥檚 character gets a little too close to the crazy. Will he get sucked into exhibiting the psychopathic tendencies he鈥檚 trying to dissect?
Already renewed for a second season, the series was the reason for Groff鈥檚 early departure as King George in the Broadway smash Hamilton, for which he earned his second Tony nomination. Groff earned his first Tony nomination, and a Theatre World Award, for his role as Melchior Gabor in 2007鈥檚 Spring Awakening.
Groff recently appeared in Sondheim on Sondheim at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and debuted on the podcast musical 36 Questions.
