Overview

• Fuller told ScreenRant at TIFF that his dream is a limited-series adaptation pairing Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal with Zendaya as Clarice Starling.
• He said the original ensemble, including Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, is eager to return if rights issues can be resolved.
• Rights to The Silence of the Lambs and Clarice are split among MGM, the De Laurentiis interests and author Thomas Harris, and consolidation could take years.
• No revival or limited series has been announced or greenlit, with Fuller framing the concept as an aspiration.
• NBC’s Hannibal aired from 2013 to 2015 without adapting Silence due to MGM’s control, and CBS later produced the short-lived 2021 series Clarice.
