In the first series of Netflix’s Mindhunter, we got used to seeing Holt McCallany as detective Bill Tench, locked in mental duels with serial killers.

In real life, while preparing for season two, McCallany spent four hours in the company of a convicted murderer.

Not just any murderer, but a former follower of Charles Manson who, you may have noticed, is back under the spotlight in a big way.

During the same month that marks 50 years since the infamous Manson Family murders – killings that saw the deaths of five people, including Sharon Tate – the cult leader is now a character (played by the same actor) in both Quentin Tarantino’s new film and Mindhunter, which returns this week.
