The showrunner for Hannibal opened up about the surprising queer love story between the show’s main characters. Back in 2013, the prequel TV series for the 1991 film Silence Of The Lambs debuted to critical acclaim.

The show followed FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and his complicated relationship with the titular cannibalistic killer (Mads Mikkelsen).

Throughout its three-season run, fans theorised that the two lead characters were in love with one another – due to their intense chemistry.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the show’s executive producer Bryan Fuller gave insight into Will and Hannibal’s unexpected love story. “It started out as kind of a fascination with how straight guys interact with each other in a romantic way that is not sexual,” he revealed. “Initially, I didn’t want to misrepresent Thomas Harris’ characters because they clearly have heterosexual leanings in the source material, but as with the kids these days, that sexuality became much more fluid over the course of the series.” The show’s fans weren’t the only ones to recognise the undeniable chemistry between Dancy and Mikkelsen.
