Here's some scoop on Hannibal from Entertainment Weekly's Natalie Abrams' The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 5/29/15.
I know that the second half of the new season of Hannibal will draw from the first Lecter book Red Dragon, but does the first half have any basis in the Thomas Harris novels? — Judy
Yes: Novels, plural. We find Hannibal on the run in Italy, in a scenario that resembles certain elements of Harris’ book Hannibal, complete with an Italian investigator named Pazzi (played in the 2001 film by Giancarlo Giannini) chasing the serial killer. But an episode early in the season also draws story elements from Harris’ origin story Hannibal Rising. So season 3 is kind of a remix of every Hannibal book besides Silence of the Lambs—a nice workaround, given that the show still doesn’t have the rights to the Clarice Starling character.
