NBC’s Hannibal is headed to San Diego Comic-Con

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

It looks like San Diego Comic-Con is going to need a straightjacket this year because NBC's Hannibal will have its very own panel at the Con next month. The panel will be appropriately titled Hannibal: Feed Your Fear and will take place on Thursday, July 18th from 6:45pm – 7:45pm in Room 6A.

It will feature Emmy-Award-winning executive producer Bryan Fuller director David Slade, Martha De Laurentiis, and star Hugh Dancy as they discuss key behind the scenes moments from the first season of the ground-breaking NBC drama. The panel will also discuss the future for Hannibal and reveal a few Season Two elements. I can't help but notice that Mads Mikkelsen isn't on that list. I'd imagine being a cannibal is tiresome work! Either way, that's a solid line-up and anyone who is in attendance will no doubt leave with some great insight on what the future holds for Hannibal.

HANNIBAL focuses on the fledgling relationship between FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), his mentor. Will Graham is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham's unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone – even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he's pursuing is too complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership, and it seems there's no villain they can't catch. If Will only knew…
