Despite the fear, however, we remain allured by their enigmas. We’re drawn to darkness and evil and are intrigued by their prolific characters. Whether they exist within comic book, movies or television shows, we seek them out. We want more, and luckily, one of the film and television’s most feared villains is making his return.
“Hannibal” is now in its early stages of Season 2 production, and although the premiere won’t arrive until the last winter snow has melted, fans are already digging for details on their favorite cannibal.
According to TVLine, Cynthia Nixon, best known for her longtime work on “Sex and the City,” will join the cast with a recurring role as Kade Prurnell. Kade is an employee of the Inspector General in the FBI who is investigating the events of the first season and Jack Crawford’s potential involvement. From “Sex and the City” to “Hannibal.” An interesting change of venues, but one to which a veteran actress such as Nixon won’t have any problem adapting.
“Hannibal” is an American psychological thriller developed by Bryan Fuller.
