As expected, the marketing for NBC’s upcoming series HANNIBAL is coming at us fast and furious and today we have two more short but definitely sweet promo spots for the Mads Mikkelsen-starring show, which we’ve embedded for you below. The first displays a severed hand grasping a ringing cellphone (nice creepy touch!) while the second recycles a memorable line from the trailer – “He doesn’t want to destroy them, he wants to consume them.” -, suggesting we may see some of that Lecter Brand gore (albeit, television-styled nastiness). Go ahead and check the promos below for an idea of what we may be in for come April.
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…
HANNIBAL stars Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Laurence Fishburne, Caroline Dhavernas, Hettienne Park and Scott Thompson. It airs on April 4th.
