‘Hannibal’ Renewed For Season 2: NBC Picks Up Bryan Fuller Series For A Second Helping
Posted in: Today's Chili“Hannibal” has been renewed for a second season, NBC announced today.
The Bryan Fuller series, starring Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne, debuted in April to 4.4 million viewers and a 1.6 rating, maintaining fairly solid numbers despite a timeslot that put it up against CBS’ successful “Elementary” and ABC’s juggernaut “Scandal.”
In a recent interview with E! Online, Fuller admitted that the odds were in their favor for renewal: “I know that we are a cost-efficient show so we’re not hard to pick up. That’s a nice way of saying we’re a bargain show! (laughs) Hannibal was really well-produced, we have a fantastic team and our crew in Toronto was just knocking it out of the park.”
