NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ Gets A Teaser Trailer!

It’s been a busy week for NBC’s Hannibal. First the show got a cool new piece of key art, just a day later the premiere date was revealed, and now the first teaser for the show has been released!

The teaser is short, but very sweet; the show certainly looks to have a Dexter feel to it, as Hannibal Lecter is both working with the police, and being the scarily disturbing fellow that we all know and love.

Watch the teaser below, and let us know what you think! Hannibal premieres on Thursday, April 4th!

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.
