New Promo Image Revealed For NBC’s ‘Hannibal’!

It’s been some time since we’ve seen or heard anything come out of NBC’s currently-in-production Hannibal prequel (we saw a first batch of images all the way back in October), so it’s nice to know that someone over there is thinking about us.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, NBC has released a romantic new piece of key art for the series. The image features Hannibal himself (Mads Mikkelsen) resting his chin on an eerily white skull while plenty of other bones (and a bouquet of roses) litter the table in front of him. Creepy.

Check out the image below, and let us know what you think! The 13 episode first season currently has no release date, but will feature a pilot directed by David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night).

One of the most fascinating literary characters comes to life on television for the first time: psychiatrist-turned-serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this new drama from Bryan Fuller (“Pushing Daisies,” “Heroes”), based on the characters from Thomas Harris’ classic novels, we see where this incredible story began.

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…

Starring brilliant young actor Hugh Dancy as Will Graham, “Hannibal” will breathe new life into a deadly classic.
