For nearly four years now, we’ve had our fingers, toes and other crossable body parts crossed in the hope that somehow Hannibal will make its way back to our screens. And now, that hope has been extended a little more.

Responding to a fan on Twitter, showrunner Bryan Fuller has explained how he’s still looking to bring Hannibal back to life.

No one has given up! I’ve made it clear I want to do it, the cast wants to do it and Martha wants to do it. We just need a network or a streaming service that wants to do it, too. I don’t feel there’s a clock on it or an expiration date for the idea. We just need someone to bite.

If you remember back, NBC cancelled Hannibal in 2015 after a stunning three-season run. The decision caught many off-guard, for this was a series that was one of the most beautiful and chilling genre shows ever seen.

So, is Hannibal returning? Sadly, no it isn’t. At least not yet. But nonetheless, it’s still encouraging that Bryan Fuller hasn’t given up hope of reviving the sinister antics of Mads Mikkelsen’s Dr. Lecter.

As ever, expect more on all of this if and when it develops further. In the meantime, we’ll get back to keeping those crossable body parts crossed.
