“It’s no secret that all of us who were part of the cast and Bryan, we all want to go back,” Mikkelsen told Business Insider. “It’s got to happen eventually sooner than later because we’re not getting any younger, right? But the story itself can jump, it can have that gap, which is fine. So it’s all about finding a home for it, but that’s nothing concrete out there now. Why that’s the case? I don’t know. We love the show and there seem to be a lot of other people liking it as well.”
When asked what he believed Hannibal and Will Graham would be up to now, this many years after the series finale, Mads Mikkelsen had a reply that indicated he knows good and well what they’re doing. “He’s got a few ideas, Bryan. So I can’t really reveal any, in case we do start, but I’m sure they made it somehow.”
How many seasons of Hannibal are there?
There are three totals seasons of the NBC series Hannibal. Notably the series tells the story of what happened before the events of Red Dragon, the first novel to feature the character of Hannibal Lecter. How Hannibal was caught and his previous relationship with Will Graham had never been explored prior to the series. A big portion of the series at that point is the hunt for The Chesapeake Ripper, the serial killer name given to Hannibal Lecter, with the series revealing that he was able to evade capture due to his interactions with police.
It’s worth noting that even though there are three seasons of Hannibal, the third and final season squeezes in storylines that had been planned for both a planned season 3 and season 4. When it became clear that the show would not be on the air much longer, the creatives decided to accommodate their larger plans into the episodes that had been ordered, giving us a season 3 that featured elements from three of the four Hannibal novels, Red Dragon (1981), Hannibal (1999), and Hannibal Rising (2006).
