Every month Pop Break TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky and his brother, Staff Writer Aaron Sarnecky, get together to celebrate a special moment in TV history!
This month, the brothers are back to reminisce over the series finale of one of the most surprising network TV dramas to ever air on NBC, Hannibal, which went off the air five years ago this past August.
The series, which was created by Bryan Fuller (American Gods) and aired for three seasons from 2013-2015, starred Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) as the titular character, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and Hugh Dancy (Late Night) as Will Graham, an FBI profiler with a talent for thinking like the most depraved minds.
On this podcast Aaron and Josh discuss their past with the series, their overall feelings on the finale, and the relationship between Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham. The two also discuss how Fuller’s interpretation of the Red Dragon (Richard Armitage, The Hobbit) story differs from previous adaptations and whether they’d like to see the show come back in some form.
Hannibal ran for three seasons from 2013-2015 on NBC and was moved around to numerous nights throughout its run. In 2015, however, due to the Summer Olympics, the Hannibal Series Finale aired on the NBC subchannel/affiliate COZI.
Outside of Dancy and Mikkelsen the series also starred: Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Hettiene Park (The Outsider), Caroline Dhavernas (Wonderfalls), Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Aaron Abrams (Blindspot) and Gillian Anderson (The X-Files).
The show featured guest appearances from: Eddie Izzard (Ocean’s 13), Cynthia Nixon (Sex & The City), Raul Esparza (Law & Order: SVU), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Designated Survivor), Anna Chlumsky (Veep), Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire), Joe Anderson (The River), and Gina Torres (Firefly)
