“Frankly, given the story he described, and the way we ended Season 3, it could happen in five years time,” Dancy told a small group of reporters at the Television Critics Association winter previews while promoting his Hulu show, The Path. “That wouldn’t be problematic in terms of storyline, so I have my fingers crossed.”

[…] Dancy is optimistic Hannibal isn’t dead meat, since the cast – and Fuller – are still passionate about the series.

“I love Bryan. I love the storyline that he outlined for me, if there had been a Season 4 – whether it be on television or some other format, I don’t know,” Dancy said. “I think if Mads, Bryan and myself could all be available – I can’t fully speak for Mads – but it could happen.”

“Part of this comes downs to who owns the rights to which book,” Dancy said, referring to Thomas Harris’ books, which inspired both the TV and movie series. “I think there are specific elements of ‘Silence of the Lambs’ that could be explored between Will and Hannibal, very interestingly.”

Whatever the cast (and Fuller) can work out, they better hurry it up: fans are hungry for more.
