Hannibal Spoilers: Will Clarice Starling Appear On NBC Series?

Spoilers

At Paleyfest this week, Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller dropped a bombshell that fans of the series can’t stop talking about.

So far, the NBC series has been hampered by the fact that they currently do not have the rights to use characters that appeared in The Silence of the Lambs (primarily Clarice Starling). While Fuller has made no secret about his desire and pursuit of these rights, apparently progress is being made.

During the panel, Fuller said they ask every year, and while the first two requests were met with firm rejection, “this time they were like, ‘ask again next year,'” said Fuller.
