Hugh Dancy Talks When to Expect Possible New Season of “Hannibal”

Published

All hope is not yet lost, Fannibals.

When NBC cancelled “Hannibal” back in 2015, we couldn’t exactly say we were surprised. The ratings had been steadily declining for some time, so you could say the writing was on the walls long before the plug was pulled. Why didn’t the series find a sizeable enough audience to hang in there? If you’re asking me, the show was just too damn smart for the TV watchers of today, who would rather watch the Kardashian sisters go shopping than invest in an intelligent, compelling series like “Hannibal.” It was too good for this world. There’s really no other way of looking at it.

But the silver lining here, as we told you last month, is that series creator Bryan Fuller still hopes to bring Will and Hannibal back for more small screen brutality. The fourth season of “Hannibal” was going to be based on the iconic Silence of the Lambs story, and Fuller remains hopeful that he’ll be able to bring the show back in some capacity so that the story can be told.

Speaking with TV Line, actor Hugh Dancy just expressed the same level of interest in returning to that world; but if a revival does even happen, he thinks we’ve got a long wait ahead of us.

Dancy told the site:

My feeling is that, knock on wood, if it came around again, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for it to be four or five years later. That might actually be kind of interesting. How weird would that be, on a personal level, to find yourself back with those people? ‘So… where did we leave off?’

It’s such a strange idea, but it’s potentially very healthy for a story like that. So we’ll see.

Will Graham doesn’t really play a role in Silence of the Lambs, but Dancy says that Fuller’s version of the story would be reworked “through the Will-Hannibal relationship.”

Please? Pretty please?

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.”
