Synopsis of Hannibal

Will Graham is an FBI criminal profiler with a very particular way of thinking that allows him to get inside the minds of the psychopaths he hunts. Jack Crawford, the agency's head of Behavioral Science, assigns him to investigate a serial killer in Minnesota. The pressure of the case starts to weigh on Graham, and Crawford decides that forensic psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter should supervise his work. Mads Mikkelsen plays Lecter, a brilliant professional who loves fine food. Hugh Dancy brings Graham to life in this psychological thriller and horror series created by Bryan Fuller for NBC, which combines criminal investigation with an increasingly strange relationship between the agent and his psychiatrist.

Trivia about Hannibal

NBC made a financial commitment to the series before Fuller finished his script. In February 2012, it ordered a first season of 13 episodes based solely on the strength of that script.

José Andrés was the series' "culinary cannibalism consultant" and advised the team on how to prepare human flesh for consumption.

The fourth episode, "Oeuf," was pulled from American broadcast at the request of creator Bryan Fuller, although it continued to air in other countries.

The station KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah, pulled the series from its schedule on April 29, 2013, after airing four episodes.

According to Fuller, NBC executives wanted John Cusack or Hugh Grant to play Lecter, just to attract the largest possible audience.

Chelan Simmons reprised her role as Gretchen Speck-Horowitz in one episode, a part she had already played in Wonderfalls, Fuller's previous series.

Fuller cited David Cronenberg and Dario Argento as influences on the series, along with David Lynch and Kubrick.

Hugh Dancy recommended Mads Mikkelsen to play Hannibal Lecter because the two had become friends while filming King Arthur (2004); Mikkelsen ended up landing the role.
