The NBC series Hannibal has garnered both critical and fan acclaim
for its cinematic qualities, its complex characters, and its
innovative reworking of Thomas Harris's mythology so well-known
from Jonathan Demme's Silence of the Lambs (1991) and its variants.
The series concluded late in 2015 after three seasons, despite
widespread fan support for its continuation. While there is a
healthy body of scholarship on Harris's novels and Demme's film
adaptation, little critical attention has been paid to this newest
iteration of the character and narrative. Hannibal builds on the
serial killer narratives of popular procedurals, while taking them
in a drastically different direction. Like critically acclaimed
series such as Breaking Bad and The Sopranos, it makes its viewers
complicit in the actions of a deeply problematic individual and, in
the case of Hannibal, forces them to confront that complicity
through the character of Will Graham. The essays in Becoming
explore these questions of authorship and audience response as well
as the show's themes of horror, gore, cannibalism, queerness, and
transformation. Contributors also address Hannibal's distinctive
visual, auditory, and narrative style. Concluding with a compelling
interview with series writer Nick Antosca, this volume will both
entertain and educate scholars and fans of Hannibal and its many
iterations.
