Hannibal the Cannibal Heads for Television

While we’re betting it won’t be a comedy or a musical, our arms are still a bit akimbo at the thought of a television series based on Thomas Harris’ most famous character, Hannibal Lecter.

Last week, Deadline broke the story that NBC will be airing 13 episodes of Hannibal beginning in November of this year. No word yet on who will star in the series to be executive produced by Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Pushing Daisies) and Martha De Laurentis (Hannibal, Hannibal Rising), but this is one casting we’ll be paying close attention to. With the right talent, it’s bound to be a killer show. (Sorry.)
