Bryan Fuller has talked about two ideas for a possible Hannibal Season 4 – a Silence of the Lambs reboot and an original idea. What has he told you about what that original idea would be about?

He had pitched for us what that idea was and we loved it. We actually thought we were going back and doing it. It was the first time that we were very sure that we were coming back. The other [seasons] we didn’t think we were coming back and we had another chance. But the fourth time was like, yes, money in the bank here we go. And then they canceled it. So we were quite surprised. So let’s wait and see, cross our fingers that the man will come back and do it. If he does it, I think we’re all on board.

What would be your dream scenario for Season 4, an area you’d want to explore about Hannibal?

Silence of the Lamb is obviously very interesting, but we also all know it very well. I think Bryan has been magically good at creating something out of the material that’s there, but going somewhere else with it. I just jump on that train when he starts writing because I have an idea of what he’s doing but you can never fully imagine where he’s going because he’s a very surprising man.

Season 3 ended on a literal cliffhanger. What’s your interpretation of the ending? Do you think both Hannibal and Will survived?

It’s a very classic ending. A very Sherlock Homes and Moriarty ending. Yeah, they can survive. Of course they can. It’s movie magic. If they’re lucky enough to hit one of the soft rocks down there, we’ll see. Hannibal is full of surprises, maybe he had something up his sleeve there. Could be anything. (article)
