NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ season 2 spoilers: Boss on finale shockers, season 3 cliffhangers

It’s not too early yet to get scoop on the “Hannibal” finale, right? Prior to checking out Friday night’s episode, take a look at some new comments below from executive producer / mad scientist / genius Bryan Fuller that should have you even more on edge both about how the show may end, and the sort of frustration that you will have if there is no season 3.

Let’s start off here, though, with the comments pertaining to the actual events of the episode, and why Fuller was fine releasing that Hannibal / Jack fight scene (one of the greatest ones of its kind that we have seen) during the premiere. Here are his comments, per TVLine, on that matter:

“We only showed that big reveal [of the Jack-Hannibal scrum] because we knew we had a whole bunch of other ones in our back pocket! The audience will be going, ‘There’s that moment and that moment and that moment — and then there’s the ending! Good God!'”

Now as for that possible motivation that you need to watch live and/or remind NBC how awesome this show is, Fuller suggests that while there are parts of this episode that could serve as a series finale, there are also parts that will not, and probably would anger many if there is no further resolution to them:

“It completes the arc of the last two seasons in a way that I find very satisfying, but it also ends on several cliffhangers that will be frustrating to not have closure on. So I’m of two minds, really.”

Obviously, there is way more of the “Hannibal” source material out there than can be covered in the span of two seasons, so there is no shortage on that.
