Hannibal renewed for season 2

More than two weeks after its upfront presentation, NBC has decided the fate of its last remaining bubble series.

NBC has given a 13-episode second-season renewal to its critically applauded drama Hannibal. The new season will air no earlier than midseason.

Hannibal is based on the characters from the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris and was developed for television by Bryan Fuller, who also serves as writer and executive producer.
