NBC's summer slate will serve up a third season of Hannibal with network newbies Aquarius and Heroes [Reborn]. Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) usually gives fans cannibalistic nightmares as we turn the clocks forward, making the delayed season a little bit of a disappointment.
"I thought we had said this publicly, maybe we hadn't... Hannibal's going to be back in the summer," NBC's Robert Greenblatt told IGN at Friday's Winter TCA press tour. "It's a show we love. It's been critically acclaimed by a few of you in the room, if not many. We love it. We also love summer. We have a lot of good and exciting plans for summer, including most likely Aquarius, we've been talking about Heroes [Reborn] and other things."
