The Silence of the Lambs TV drama prequel from Bryan Fuller as writer and executive producer and produced by Gaumont International Television and Sony Pictures Television will see a second season despite struggling somewhat with viewership in the United States as a so-called "bubble series" where it's being shown on the NBC network.
Hannibal is a co-commissioned international show by Sony Pictures Television Networks making this type of American drama series much cheaper to produce than what it would normally cost and now the drama with Hugh Dancy (Will Graham) and Mads Mikkelsel (Hannibal Lecter) will have a second season of 13 episodes in 2014.
"We're so proud of Bryan's vision for a show that is richly textured, psychologically complex, and very compelling," says Jennifer Salke, NBC entertainment president in a just issued press statement. "There are many great stories still to be told."
The second season of Hannibal will focus on the strained relationship between Dr. Hannibal and the criminal profiler Will.
