Creator Bryan Fuller has been keeping the hope alive for the return of “Hannibal” ever since NBC pulled the plug back in 2015, but at this moment in time, there seems to be no actual movement in regards to any sort of revival. All three seasons of the brilliant NBC series, however, did recently begin streaming on Netflix, which has sparked much speculation.
Could Netflix be the new home for brand new seasons of “Hannibal,” in addition to the existing three seasons that originally aired on NBC? Anything is possible, especially in 2020.
The cast and crew of the show, including Fuller as well as stars Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, came together for a special Nerdist House reunion over the weekend, and the conversation naturally turned to talks of a potential revival. Speaking on that particular subject, Fuller stated that at this point in time he’s “very hopeful” that “Hannibal” will return.

“I am very hopeful,” Fuller said during the reunion, talking about a fourth season of the show. “The great thing about the idea that if we are going to be meeting [back up with Hannibal and Will] and it takes five, six, seven years or what have you, that’s just how long they’ve been on the lam. Then the story picks up from that point. And we’ll adapt.”
Fuller is of course referring to the literal cliff-hanger that was season three’s finale, with a potential fourth season picking up several years after that particular incident on the cliff.
When asked about his dream fourth season, Fuller commented: “It’s very sort of sunny and sweaty, as compared to the cold, harsh realities of Toronto. I think it would be fun to go sunny and sweaty and beachy. A whole new temperature to the cinema.”
And what about the characters from this iteration of “Hannibal” being woven into the iconic Silence of the Lambs story? We already know that CBS is working on their own sequel series titled “Clarice,” but it sounds like Fuller is still keeping that possibility on the table.
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the show moving forward, and whether…if there ever is to be a Silence of the Lambs miniseries with this cast,” Fuller mused.
