Netflix has released a trailer for season two of its original serial killer series “Mindhunter.” Produced by Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron and acclaimed director David Fincher (Se7en), the show is based on retired FBI profiler John Douglas and novelist Mark Olshaker’s book, Mind Hunter:Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit.

The new season is set to premiere Aug. 16 and will explore the Atlanta Child Murders of 1979-1981 and visit with notorious heavies Son of Sam and Charlies Manson.

“Mindhunter” recounts Douglas’ experiences tracking down serial killers and rapists while pioneering profiling techniques used by the Bureau today. He was the inspiration for agent Jack Crawford in Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter novels and the Frank Black character in Chris Carter’s “Millennium” series.

Douglas has profiled such noted monsters as JohnWayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz (aka: Son of Sam), Charles Manson, James Earl Ray, Edmund Kemper (aka: the Coed Killer), Richard Speck, and countless others.

“Mindhunter” stars Jonathan Groff (”Glee”), Holt McCallanay (Alien3), Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time In Hollywood), and “Fringe’s” Anna Torv (pictured).
