'Hannibal' TV series from 'Pushing Daisies' creator bought by NBC


Can bringing the Silence of the Lambs franchise to TV help rescue NBC?

Sources confirm the network has just made a deal with Pushing Daisies creator and former Heroes writer Bryan Fuller to create a broadcast series take on Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The deal calls for a straight-to-series order (no pilot) if NBC likes the script.

But can the extremely dark franchise based on Thomas Harris series of bestselling novels really work in primetime? Perhaps. While there’s no details about the adaptation yet, we’re presumably looking a police procedural here that’s not entirely unlike a twisted version »
