Although NBC’s Hannibal ended a decade ago, the love for the series among its fans remains strong, and among them is a belief that the eerie, complex, and poetic story is not over. Fans loved the psychologically intricate dynamic between Mads Mikkelsen’s (Doctor Strange, Rogue One) Hannibal Lecter and Hugh Dancy‘s (Law & Order, Adam) Will Graham, and the cancellation of the series after a vague season finale left fans wondering what lay beyond their story for a decade. Luckily for fans, Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, American Gods) revealed in an interview with ScreenRant that he had some ideas about how a possible revival could play out.

“My dream project is to do a limited series of Silence of the Lambs with Mads and Zendaya as Clarice Starling,” Fuller recently told ScreenRant, revealing that the revival would not be a direct continuation of NBC’s Hannibal, but it would take place long after the events of the series. “If I could put anything out into the universe, I would put that into the universe.”

Zendaya, who played MJ in Marvel’s Spider-Man film series and Chani in the Dune films, is an actress who is a household name, and Comicbook.com speculates that her casting would bring both new and old fans alike, should there be a revival.

Comicbook.com writes that a Silence of the Lambs series as a means of revival could work due to the wiggle room that the ambiguity of Hannibal’s ending provides. In the finale of Hannibal, “The Wrath of the Lamb,” Will and Hannibal, both wounded, embrace as they fall from a cliff into the sea, soon after the murder of Francis Dolarhyde. Then, Hannibal’s psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier carves into her own leg while sitting at a grand dinner table after the credits roll, suggesting that Hannibal himself survived the fall. Therefore, because Hannibal is suggested to survive, it is fully possible for him to encounter Clarice sometime down the line during his imprisonment.
