NBC Is Bringing 'Hannibal' Home With A 13-Episode Order
Some interesting news is coming our way from Deadline.
It seems that NBC is pulling the trigger on a 13-episode order to Hannibal without going through a pilot stage. a
The project, which is a straight-to-series project from Gaumont International Televion, will be written and executive produced by Bryan Fuller and executive produced by Martha DeLaurentiis.
Hannibal is described as a contemporary thriller series featuring the clasc characters from Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon – FBI agent Will Graham and his mentor Dr. Hannibal Lecter – who are re-introduced at the beginning of their budding relationship.
The project was bought by NBC preemptively in November with a script against a 13-episode commitment, meaning that the network had to make a quick decion after receiving Fuller’s script to pick up the series, which it just did. Stay tuned for more.

Very risky. Very intriguing. I want to hear casting, but they've certainly gotten my attention.
