After the first season of Hannibal aired, Bryan Fuller had a long conversation with TV critic & professional Fannibal Todd VanDerWerff, in which he shared what I consider to be the most important thing ever said about the production of this show. Yes, ever. Yes, even more than that one.
The quote is:
Fuller: “Also, keep in mind, we were a direct-to-series show, so that means the day you finish shooting the pilot, the very next day is when you start shooting episode two. … When I saw the first cut of the pilot, it was one of the most terrifying days of the production for me, because there is an arrogance to a direct-to-series order that negates the contributions of your cast and your director, because you’re thinking, like, ‘Oh, they’re going to do what they’re going to do, and we’re just going to lay the plan out ahead of them, and they’ll fall into place.’ But with this cast and with a director like David Slade, they elevated the material so significantly that I was looking at the scripts that were coming down the pike, and I just thought, ‘We are writing the wroooong show.’ [Laughs.] So it was a matter of grabbing the wheel, jerking it, and trying to turn the ship. It was acknowledging what the cast and the director had brought to the table and evolving it from that point.
There were pressures along the way, where it’s like, ‘Just stay the course. Do the scripts that you’ve written,’ and I just couldn’t do that. It was going to be a tremendous amount of work and a tremendous amount of effort to re-break and rewrite the 10 scripts that we had ready to go, but the fact was, in my gut, I knew that they were the wrong version of this show. And a change had to be made quickly and efficiently. I begged for us to do a shutdown, so I could apply what I’d learned from seeing the pilot, and it was just not in our budget. All of that had to be done on the fly. So we essentially threw out 10 scripts and were writing them on the fly as production was going and trying to keep ahead and trying to feed the machine.” - The AV Club, July 2013
So, this is insane for a couple reasons. One of them is covered clearly here, namely that to rewrite a direct-to-series show while in production is SO DIFFICULT, no one does that, no one does that, Bryan. But Bryan Fuller did. Because he saw something in the footage. Something *more* that his actors were doing with their director, something in a space just beyond his script. And so much did he want to see where that was going, that he cajoled his crew into re-breaking the rest of the season.
Like, listen — I’m not saying Bryan Fuller rewrote the first season of Hannibal on the fly because he saw Hannigram flare up between Mads Mikkelsen & Hugh Dancy. Haha, that would be crazy.
I’m saying that was part of the reason.
