OUR MISTAKE! We are sorry and disappointed to confirm that the information concerning Guillermo Del Toro directing an episode in HannibalSeason 3 is incorrect. The inaccurate information was the result of a miscommunication in the process of editing our April newsletter. We take full responsibility for the error, and extend our most sincere apologies.We are sorry to have disappointed anyone. Whereas we would love to have Guillermo Del Toro direct an episode, his schedule simply did not allow for that this season. Again, our most sincere apologies.

On April 4th Hannibal turns 2 years old! I thought we could celebrate by making gif sets and trending #HannibalReturnsJune4 on twitter with chesapeake-cannibal. Like last year drop me a message to sign up for a slot, it’s just one episode and one character per person for now but I may open it up later, remember it is first come first serve.

There are several aspects to this answer, but most of them boil down to –
Renewal for Season 4.
Last year, we won this poll. Bryan has told us that this win was actually influential in pushing NBC to renew us for season 3. It let them know that people are watching this show, people are eager for it, and there’s an audience in place and ready to go should they decide to make more Hannibal. And sure enough, the announcement followed not too long after our win.
It would make even more of a statement to them if we won this year, not in the midst of a season, but deeply, deeply, into a long empty hiatus. Winning this poll is basically us knocking on NBC’s door and saying, LOOK, WE’RE STILL HERE, WE’RE STILL FIGHTING, WE’RE THINKING ABOUT HANNIBAL, ARE YOU? And we need every push like that we can get.
Secondly, it creates traffic as we head closer to season 3. Right now, everyone who is voting is seeing Hannibal’s name. People are asking, what’s that show? It’s winning all these rounds, it must be good. That will be even more magnified if we won. People who haven’t seen it will see it on Hulu’s homepage and think, maybe I should watch. People who have seen it, will remember it and think, oh yes, I loved that show, I should tune in. And this will increase viewership in season 3. We also need that, that also leads us back to renewal for season 4.
Hulu is a major site, with a good reputation and a lot of traffic. We need that kind of exposure. Our renewal is so up in the air, it’s not even the slightest bit funny, and this we can control. This win is up to us.
And finally, for ourselves. It’s been a long hard hiatus, and people have drifted and people’s fire has dimmed, but it would be nice to have a victory like this and all pull together again.
