Fuller broke the news of the series premiere date on Twitter, writing: "#Hannibal requests the honour of your presence for dinner Thursday April 4 10PM @NBC -- Saving you a place at the table."

Fuller also revealed that Eddie Izzard has been on set, posting a picture of the two together and writing: "Always hungry for more @eddieizzard on #HANNIBAL - here we plot our next course."

Izzard will reportedly play an asylum inmate who claims that he is an infamous serial killer.

The show will explore the early relationship between Dr Hannibal Lecter and a criminal profiler, special agent Will Graham.

Lecter will be played by Casino Royale star Mads Mikkelsen, with Hugh Dancy (The Big C) in the role of the Agent Graham. Caroline Dhavernas (Devil), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Copper) and Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) also feature in the series.

Fuller is an executive producer on the thriller, along with Martha De Laurentiis, Katie O'Connell, Sara Colleton and Jesse Alexander.

Really enjoyed the first episode.

I thought it had quite a strong 'Dexter' feel to it, something quite dark, violent, but a very likeable side to it.

The pathologist is a very interesting character, looking forward to seeing his personality develop some more.

Cant wait for the next episode.

Same. Initially I thought it was going to be one of those Law and Order, NCIS type shows, where every week there's a new victim and boring people in lab coats explaining what happened etc. But it's not! To fully enjoy the show, I feel that you have to detach it completely from the movies and think of it as a completely new storyline and entity in itself. I do hope they don't dwell too much on this Dexter type "dark passenger" concept too much.

Very good first installment!!

Has anyone else noticed that broadcast shows arestarting to look more like cable fare? Thinking Hannibal, The Following etc.

I haven't watched The Following but the production quality of Hannibal is really high. I recently saw the first episode and I enjoyed every moment of it. I like it even more than The Killing and I really liked that show.

Do you guys have an idea when the pulled episode will be aired outside the US? Will it still be in order? I like this show a lot but I think it might mess up the main plot considering that they are serialized.

Well this is annoying. Why didn't they just change the time slot for it to be aired closer to midnight or something? I guess we can just wait for the actual episode to be aired in Asia / Europe. And this is a pivotal episode in the development of Hannibal's relationship with the child killer. Ugh.

I finally got to watch the pulled episode and

apart from stating that it's the children murdering their family, I don't find anything that is "too much" on this one. It didn't even show the actual murder happening and most of the air time was still focused on the main plot. Or maybe it's just me :p

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
