MAJOR SPOILER ALERT: If you didn’t watch the Season 2 finale of Hannibal, than allow us to spoil it in the simplest way possible. Last week on Hannibal, the the good doctor managed to sniff out Jack & Will’s plan and pretty much everyone got stabbed (including the recently resurrected Abigail). Now the show’s executive producer is opening up about the alternate ending where Abigail lives.
During last week’s killer season finale of Hannibal, Will Graham was briefly reunited with Abigail before Lector slit her throat. Recently Hannibal executive producer Bryan Fuller spoke to TV Line about the alternate ending to the season, where Abigail lived:
“The plan was to have Abigail on the plane with Hannibal. But then we got into the story and the emotional content of Will’s betrayal of Hannibal. Knowing Hannibal had worked very hard to create this alternate reality where Abigail lived, and where [all three] go on as a family in the shadow of horrible, horrible deeds, it felt like for Hannibal, after this betrayal, he would not be able to go on with Abigail. She was so symbolic of his relationship with Will. So, Hannibal was clearing the table. He was burning the village down. He was leaving nothing behind. He was walking away pure, and unfortunately, Abigail was a Will association for him, and was too painful to carry with him. So, it made sense for him to do what he did to Abigail in that moment, to punish Will. And then Bedelia felt like she had a story with Hannibal Lecter that was yet to be told, and it was a story of equals in some sense. Because I do believe that Bedelia is perhaps the smartest person on the show, and certainly enough to hold her wits against Hannibal Lecter. And I want to continue exploring what that’s like for Hannibal.”
