"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 has a strong fan following referred to as fannibals. However, barely anyone has been tuning into the show Friday nights at 10 p.m.
The schedule move will return the series to its original timeslot when it first aired in 2013 when ratings were slightly higher. Maybe a return to that block will help the cult favorite hit its stride.
It's time to feast, fannibals.
