A new 2-minute trailer for NBC's Hannibal

Last month NBC debuted a 30-second teaser for its upcoming serial killer series Hannibal, and now we have a new two-minute trailer, which gives us a much better idea of what to expect from Hannibal Lecter's latest screen incarnation.

Created by Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), Hannibal centres on the early relationship between the cannibalistic doctor and the man responsible for Lecter's initial capture, FBI Special Agent Will Graham. Mads Mikkelsen, best known to Western audiences for his turn as Le Chiffre in 2006's Casino Royale, steps into the role previously portrayed by Brian Cox (Manhunter) and, most famously, Anthony Hopkins (TheSilence of the Lambs, Hannibal), while Hugh Dancy (The Big C) portrays the criminal profiler Graham.

Also set to feature in the 13-part TV series are Caroline Dhavernas (The Pacific), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Beauty and the Beast), Aaron Abrams (The L.A. Complex), Hettienne Park (Young Adult), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Gina Torres (Flash Forward) and Gillian Anderson (The X-Files).

Take a look at the new trailer here:


Hannibal premieres on April 4th on NBC in North America. A UK air date is yet to be announced.
