Yesterday we posted a massive preview of the TV panels that will be hitting the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, and while we mentioned the presence of NBC’s HANNIBAL at this year’s event, today we can bring you confirmation, plus a few more details. Bryan Fuller, David Slade, Martha De Laurentiis and Hugh Dancy will all attend Comic Con 37 on opening day, Thursday 18th July between 6.45pm and 7.45pm (in Room 6a), and will talk about the hit show in a panel entitled ‘Hannibal: Feed Your Fear.’
HANNIBAL is a one-hour drama series for NBC exploring the unique and riveting early relationship of Thomas Harris’s classic character renowned psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter and his patient, a young FBI criminal profiler named Will Graham who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.
According to an official press release, the panel will feature Emmy-Award-winning executive producer Bryan Fuller (PUSHING DAISIES), director David Slade (THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE), Martha De Laurentiis (RED DRAGON), and star Hugh Dancy (playing Agent Will Graham) as they discuss key behind the scenes moments from the first season of the ground-breaking NBC drama. The panel will also discuss the future for Hannibal and reveal a few Season Two elements.
The show had its season finale this past weekend in the US, and is halfway through season one in the UK through its run on Sky Living HD.
“The core audience of HANNIBAL, some of whom call themselves FANNIBALS, have been incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about the show and we are honored to join those FANNIBALS attending San Diego Comic Con, where passion and enthusiasm are always on the menu,” commented Fuller.
Katie O’Connell, CEO of Gaumont International Television, the company that produces the show also said: “We are thrilled to be attending Comic Con and supporting our amazing who have been so loyal every step of the way,” commented O’Connell. “Hannibal’s’ success is definitely due to the dedicated supporters we have around the world and we can’t wait to participate Comic Con – the best event for fans everywhere.”
