Bryan Fuller Wants to Resurrect “Hannibal” With ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Miniseries

Published

NBC’s “Hannibal” was too good for this world. But all hope isn’t lost.

Believe it or not, it’s already been a year and a half since the plug was pulled and the final episode of “Hannibal” aired on NBC. Unfortunately, we only got three seasons of the exceptional television series before the low ratings caused the network to cancel it, and that’s a particular bummer because the fourth season was set to delve into the iconic Silence of the Lambs story.

Ever since the depressing announcement was made, creator Bryan Fuller has been keeping the hope alive, teasing a potential return or maybe even a feature film spinoff. It’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about the possible re-animation of “Hannibal,” but speaking with podcast Shock Waves earlier this month, Fuller provided some more insight into what he’s planning.

Fuller explained what he’d love to do with the series, going forward:

We still hope that something can be worked out where we continue telling Hannibal Lecter stories and see The Silence of the Lambs in a way that the book hasn’t been represented. I think the film adaptation is a perfect film, but there are a lot of interesting nooks and crannies to explore in a television series. I hope we get to tell the story.

Ideally for the cast, it would be as a mini-series, here and there. Let’s do 6 to 8 episodes of that, and 6 to 8 episodes over here. And do it as an irregular thing.

We may not deserve it, but we NEED more of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter.

Who would you cast to play Buffalo Bill? How about Clarice Starling?

Mads Mikkelson

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
