Hugh Dancy Doesn't Think 'Hannibal' Will Ever Be Brought Back

Hugh Dancy doesn’t have high hopes for a season four of Hannibal.

If you recall, the 47-year-old actor starred alongside Mads Mikkelsen in the NBC thriller series from 2013-2015, before the show was ultimately cancelled despite having a huge fanbase.

In a new interview, Hugh opened up about if the series could be brought back at all.

Hugh admitted that he would absolutely be up to return for the show.

“[W]e keep saying, when we get asked, ‘Oh, we’d love to do it,’ which is true,” he explained to Collider. “Maybe it’ll take one of us to say, ‘I will absolutely never do a fourth season of Hannibal,’ but that would be a lie.”

Despite that, Hugh doesn’t think it will be brought back.

“I’m not exactly surprised because essentially, first and foremost, somebody has to write a fairly sizable check. I’m not talking about me being paid. I’m talking about the cost of making a season of television,” Hugh says. “For a while, it seemed like the streamers were gonna be everybody’s savior, in that respect, but now there’s been a cutoff there. There are shows that are watched by millions of people that don’t make it past a second season. So, I have no idea what that calculation is.”

If you missed it, Mads recently revealed that a kiss between his and Hugh‘s character did almost happen.
