Hannibal has a hungry—if not sizeable—fan base. Like a great meal, Hannibal takes time to prepare and digest. But the fresh morsels are far more filling than anything that's pre-prepared. And in a rare show of support of quality, NBC is actually attempting to wrangle a larger audience for the Dr. Lecter drama—instead of just tinkering with what already works, or canceling it outright.
Last year, NBC placed the monstrous program in a prime post-dinner-party time slot: Fridays, at 10 pm. Realizing that that was a little bone-headed, NBC decided to hold the third season for a summer 2015 premiere, because summer is that dead zone where their main competition re-heats leftovers and game shows.
The trailer for the third season is here, and it reveals that Mads Mikkelson and Hugh Dancy invite you to join them every Thursday night at 10 pm, beginning June 4th. And if that foreboding, moody trailer doesn't do it for you, then perhaps this blood-letting recap below will convince you to watch the best show on television—that you're probably not already watching.
