Zap2it: 'Hannibal' Season 2 casting: Bryan Fuller eyes David Bowie for major role
"I guess my dream casting for the show would be to cast David Bowie as Hannibal Lecter's uncle," Fuller tells Getty Images Entertainment, courtesy of Zap2it. "If we get a second season I will reach out and see if there is any interest."
Bowie clearly has a love for Hannibal Lecter's storyline, as he attended the "Hannibal" movie premiere back in 2001. For those of you hoping this casting pans out, Fuller says things are looking pretty good.
"NBC are saying that they're very happy with where we are at so I hope that indicates towards a second season because I have a plan for Season 2 that I think would be very exciting," Fuller reveals. "I actually have story arcs through Season 7. I think seven seems about right."
Though it will take several seasons to get there, Fuller would like to incorporate some of Hannibal Lecter's most famous tales into the NBC show several years down the road. The planned end of the series is still far off, but Fuller would like to one day introduce a "Clarice Starling type character" to help Will hunt Hannibal down.
"In the first season we have this weird bromance between Will and Hannibal, season two is the nasty break up and the third season would have a fugitive angle to it, the fourth season would be 'Red Dragon,' the fifth season would be in the realm of 'Silence Of The Lambs,' the sixth season would be 'Hannibal,'" Fuller says.
He continues, "In the seventh season it would be interesting to see Will Graham and a Clarice Starling type character come together for an adventure with their nemesis, Hannibal Lecter."
As for whether the series will end with a movie, Fuller says, "I would not mind that at all." Hopefully he can get to that "Pushing Daisies" movie first.
"Hannibal" stars Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham. It airs Thursdays on NBC at 10 p.m. ET.

David Tennant could play killer in Hannibal
The 'Broadchurch' actor - who played a police detective in the crime drama - will switch sides in the forthcoming show, which is based on 1991 thriller 'Silence of the Lambs', after impressing show boss Bryan Fuller.
He said: ''I love David Tennant. He would have made an amazing Hannibal, there's no doubt in my mind.
''David is such a fantastic actor that I would love him to come and do the show as a seriously deranged serial killer. That would be amazing.''
David initially auditioned for the lead part of psychopath Hannibal Lecter - who was portrayed by Sir Anthony Hopkins in the movie - but he narrowly lost out to Hollywood star Mads Mikkelsen.
The Danish actor will appear alongside his good friend Hugh Dancy - who is to play special agent Will Graham in the series - and Bryan is looking forward to seeing the chemistry between the pair unfold in front of the camera.
He is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: ''Mads already had a friendship in real life with Hugh.
''This show is about a bromance and a friendship that goes horribly wrong. So we thought it would be interesting to take advantage of their chemistry as friends.
''It felt like a true, traditional way to cast the role.''
