"Hannibal" fans have been waiting a long time to learn when season 3 of the cult favorite will return.
Well, we finally have a date!
The series, featuring Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, will return to NBC June 4, 2015.
Yes, that means "Hannibal" is moving from the dreaded Friday night death slot to Thursdays evenings.
As we noted back in July, the series about the twisted serial killer (Mikkelsen) gets high praise from critics. It also a strong fan following referred to as fannibals. However, barely anyone has been tuning into the show Friday nights at 10 p.m.
Maybe now on Thursday evenings, the cult favorite will hit its stride.
It's time to feast, fannibals.
