'Hannibal' Season 3 News, Update: Executive Producer Bryan Fuller Plans for Future, Hugh Dancy Teases A 'Fitting' End to Series
The future of NBC's hit psychological-thriller TV drama series "Hannibal" is currently on a limbo. Despite the cancelation move from the network, executive Bryan Fuller believes that that there's still a lot of story to tell about the cannibalistic doctor.
In an interview with TV Line, Fuller revealed that he already had a plan regardless of whether or not a network or a streaming service comes to adopt the scripted program.
According to the publication "there's an arc in Thomas Harris' source-material novels that's never been adapted for the screen."

As what he told to the publication's correspondent Michael Ausiello during the Comic-Con video suite at the Hard Rock Hotel this week, Fuller wants to "unpack" and adapt it for his Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen).
Meanwhile, the cast members discussed the fast-approaching season finale. Believing that this could already be the end, the cast and writers assured that the conclusion won't disappoint the fans.
"I think that should that be our farewell, it would be a fitting one," Dancy said. "But you could've said the same thing about the end of the first season and the end of the second season. Bryan has described to me what he had envisioned moving forward into the next season which would be justified by the way we end this year. But it'll be a big splash."
With regards to any unbearable cliffhangers that might come towards the end, Dancy once again assured that "we got to a kind of justifiable and different form of conclusion between Will and Hannibal, and Dolarhyde as well."
"That was justified and that will be very satisfying," he said.
"Hannibal" Season 3 airs this week with the episode titled "Digestivo" this Saturday, July 18, on NBC.
