CBS' The Silence of the Lambs sequel series pilot Clarice has started rounding out the supporting cast for Rebecca Breeds' (Home and Away, Pretty Little Liars) FBI Agent Starling. Lucca de Oliveira (SEAL Team, Animal Kingdom) and Devyn A. Tyler (Watchmen, The Purge) are set to join the series, based on characters and situations from […]
More than a month after CBS announced they were giving The Silence of the Lambs sequel series Clarice a series commitment, we've learned Rebecca Breeds (Home and Away, Pretty Little Liars) has been cast in the role of FBI Agent Starling. Based on characters and situations from Thomas Harris' novels, the series stems from writers […]
Fans of Thomas Harris' Clarice Sterling – hero of both the novel and Academy Award-winning film adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs – found out during CBS's Television Critics Association winter press event on Sunday that the lambs are set to continue screaming. Writers and executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet are moving forward […]
Looks like fans of Thomas Harris character Clarice Starling will be able to learn just how long after The Silence of the Lambs that the lambs continued screaming. If "Hannibal" Lecter can get a prequel series, there's no reason Clarice can't get a sequel series – and that's exactly what writers and executive producers Alex […]
So it looks like the rumors were true: Charlie Brooker's latest Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is officially Netflix's first live-action interactive experience. Directed by David Slade (American Gods, Hannibal) and starring Dunkirk's Fionn Whitehead, the Black Mirror "special event" dropped early Friday morning and follows computer programmer Stefan as he adapts childhood fantasy novel Bandersnatch into a video game. When things begin to change […]
During Bleeding Cool's routine hunts throughout the vast pop culture social media landscape for Grade A-quality news and info on upcoming new and returning shows, we quite often find ourselves stumbling upon a "The More You Know" moment or two. Case in point: learning that there are two distinct advantages to being the executive producer […]
Finally! The Rock…is coming back…to American Gods! With production on the second season of Starz's hugely successful American Gods adaption currently underway, author/executive producer Neil Gaiman tweeted out a behind-the-scenes video and self-described "God Squad" group pic that made one thing crystal clear to Gods fans: we're going to "The Rock" – and I'm not […]
Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen is the most recent gent to portray the fictional character Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and has arguably spent the most time (consecutively) portraying the not-so-good doctor. This is something of which Mikkelsen is highly aware, and boy-howdy does he know how to appease the rabid Hannibal fanbase (aka Fannibals). All photos in this piece […]
After a rough couple of months that saw: FremantleMedia's highly publicized switch in showrunners from Bryan Fuller (Star Trek: Discovery) and Michael Green (Y: the Last Man) to Hannibal's Jesse Alexander; a contentious online exchange between author/executive producer Neil Gaiman and The Hollywood Reporter; and the departure of Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) and potential departure […]
After a contentious few months that saw Bryan Fuller and Michael Green leaving the series over presumed budget issues with production company Fremantle, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting exclusively that Hannibal's Jesse Alexander will be assuming showrunner responsibilities alongside author and executive producer Neil Gaiman on Starz's American Gods. Aside from Hannibal, Alexander has also […]
Fans of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles were excited when the author announced in 2016 that she had reclaimed the rights to her novels, writing on her Facebook page at the time, "A television series of the highest quality is now my dream for Lestat, Louis, Armand, Marius, and the entire tribe." With Rice's son, novelist and columnist Christopher Rice, […]
For American Gods fans, it's still a very "plus/minus" time that's tough to reconcile. On the plus side, they feel great knowing that Starz renewed the series for a second season that's expected to begin filming January 2018. On the minus side, they find themselves stuck knee-deep in the long haul that is…The Wait Between […]
(Editor's Note: Bleeding Cool staffer Danielle Mick reporting from New York Comic Con and speaking with X-Files star Gillian Anderson.) When I arrived for the X Files press room after a moment of fangirling, I was immediately blown away by Gillian Anderson's beauty and presence. She carried herself with an air of grace and importance, not […]
NBC's Hannibal was one of those shows that you had to keep reminding yourself was actually a network show, and not a product of a premium cable channel (HBO, Showtime) or streaming service (Netflix, Amazon). Originally running from 2013-2015, Bryan Fuller's take on FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and cannibalistic serial killer Dr. Hannibal […]
Welcome to the first (and hopefully not last) edition of The Weekly Static, a comedic (fingers, toes and every other available and cross-able body part crossed) look-back at the week that was in the land of television. The goal of The Weekly Static? Why, that's a simple three-point answer: (1) to offer commentary on roughly […]
Hannibal was one of the best shows on television, period. Like most great television shows it didn't get its due and was canceled not long before it won a Saturn Award. Creator Bryan Fuller along with the extremely dedicated fanbase have never really given up hope that the series would return someday. Fuller has said […]
Even with Starz's American Gods wrapping-up its highly-watched and critically-acclaimed first season only a few weeks ago and Emmy buzz around the series continuing to grow, co-creators and showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green are already at work on the show's ten-episode second season (expected to premiere in mid-2018). But even in the midst of […]
Bryan Fuller you are an evil human being. The current showrunner for the fantastic American Gods was on the podcast Post Mortem with Mick Garris (quote via Entertainment Weekly). He spoke about an idea he has for season 4 of the beloved NBC show and how he is "excited" that they might get to return […]
There has been some talk circulating about Hannibal of late. It seems showrunner Bryan Fuller wants the show to return semi-infrequently for little mini-series around the characters. Well, Will Graham himself, Hugh Dancy doesn't seem adverse to the idea either, although he did say he might prefer it to be a couple years from now. […]
Bryan Fuller's Hannibal was quite something. The series has an incredibly dedicated fan base, and while it never lit the viewing figures on fire, it survived for three good series. Still, many certainly wish there was more to the show to come despite it being cancelled. It seems Fuller agrees. Speaking on Blumhouse's Shock Waves Podcast (via ScreenCrush), […]
