help Hannibal FAQ
Which Thomas Harris books does the Hannibal TV show adapt?
The show heavily borrows elements from the prequel novel "Red Dragon," while also fleshing out character backstories from "Hannibal Rising." Rather than sticking strictly to one book, creator Bryan Fuller wove original character arcs around the established lore of Thomas Harris's work.
Who plays Will Graham in the Hannibal series?
The character of Will Graham is portrayed by British actor Hugh Dancy. He stars opposite Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter.
Does the Hannibal TV series feature Clarice Starling?
Due to complicated rights issues with MGM, the show could not legally use characters from The Silence of the Lambs, such as Clarice Starling. As a result, the series focuses entirely on the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter prior to the events of the famous film.
Was the Hannibal TV show cancelled?
Yes, NBC canceled Hannibal after its third season concluded in 2015. Since then, the cast and creator Bryan Fuller have frequently expressed interest in reviving the series for a potential fourth season, though no network has officially picked it up yet.
