TV: NBC Orders Full 13-Episode Season of ‘Hannibal’
NBC has given series orders to “Hannibal,” a 13-episode drama from “Pushing Daisies”‘ Bryan Fuller featuring the classic characters from Thomas Harris’ novel “Red Dragon,” reports THR.
“Hannibal,” from Gaumont International Television, is described as an hourlong contemporary thriller featuring characters from Harris’ best-seller and revolves around FBI agent Will Graham and his mentor, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who are reintroduced as the beginning of their budding relationship.
Lecter was made famous in the 1991 The Silence of the Lambs which landed Anthony Hopkins an Oscar.
Fuller is also working on the delayed “Mockingbird Lane,” a reboot of “The Munsters.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
