MAJOR SPOILER ALERT: Hannibal has done it again. This week the Season Finale has managed top last week’s episode, although it is very hard to top Michael Pitt peeling his own face off. Now the show’s developer Bryan Fuller is opening up on the episodes shocking death scenes and re-piloting the show for Season 3.
Following the Season 2 finale, Hannibal head Bryan Fuller sat down with TV Guide to dish about the episode:
“I knew that I wanted to have Hannibal lay waste to the remaining cast and then drop the mic and leave the stage.That was the main goal. Really, we wanted to demonstrate how much Will hurt Hannibal. That was a big motivation for this entire finale: It had to be the nasty breakup. It had to be the terrible doom that everyone was rocketing toward because they dared to enter into a relationship with Hannibal Lecter and thought they could outsmart him.”
During the episode Hannibal, Will was stabbed by the doctor who than slit Abigail's throat. Will also saw the stag die. Fuller also opened up about the importance of this:
“The stag always represented the connection between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter. He started seeing the stag after he was first exposed to Hannibal's murder of Cassie Boyle impaled on the stag head in the field. It felt like, at that moment, the relationship that they had has died. Whatever comes next between them will be a fresh new hell. ... In any relationship, when you throw a fit and end a relationship in dramatic fashion, later you might be going, 'Oh, I do sort of miss them.’ The obsession is going to always work both ways between these two gentlemen.”
Now that the stag is dead, Fuller went on to explain that Season 3 will re-pilot the series:
“The answers to exactly why Bedelia Du Maurier is on a plane to France with Hannibal Lecter is all part of the first episode of Season 3, which will essentially function as a new pilot for a new series because everything's different.
