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

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
