Bryan Fuller’s "Hannibal" “might” debut by the end of the season.

If not, Greenblatt said "Hannibal" “could fit really nicely” into the summer season.



Salke described Fuller’s take on the early days of Hannibal Lecter and the FBI agent, Will Graham, who dogged him as “really well-crafted” and “unique,” while Greenblatt rebuffed the suggestion that now, post-Sandy Hook, is not the time for a show about a serial killer.

For one, having once lorded over Showtime, he argued that “Criminal Minds is worse than Dexter ever was.”



Plus, on "Hannibal", “There is a lot of violence around the show, but you don’t see lots of acts of violence.”

Salke added, “It’s not a shoot-’em-up kind of show. It’s not gratuitous in a way you might be thinking.”
