KSL TV will no longer be airing the NBC horror TV series Hannibal due to its "extensive graphic nature"
The TV station had gotten numerous complaints about the series and decided to drop the show. In it's place the KSL will air a special edition of it's news cast.
Plot
“Hannibal” – One of the most fascinating literary characters comes
to life on television for the first time:
psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this new
drama from Bryan Fuller (“Pushing Daisies,” “Heroes”), based on the
characters from Thomas Harris’ classic novels, we see where this
incredible story began. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, “The Big C”) is a
gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the
FBI. Graham’s unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability
to empathize with anyone – even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes
them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he’s pursuing is too
complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr.
Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with
the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known
as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership
and it seems there’s no villain they can’t catch. If Will only knew…
Fuller is writer and executive producer. Martha De Laurentis (“Red
Dragon,” “Hannibal”), Sara Colleton (“Dexter”), Jesse Alexander (“Lost”,
“Heroes”), and Katie O’Connell also serve as executive producers. David
Slade is the director/executive producer for the series pilot.
“Hannibal” is produced by Gaumont International Television.
