Hannibal creator says his "dream" Silence of the Lambs adaptation is "still out there in the universe" and that Zendaya remains his top pick for Clarice Starling: "[She'd] bring a completely different temperature"

Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter staring at each other in prison during the movie The Silence of the Lambs.

Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller has confirmed that he's still aiming to get a fourth season of the show going over ten years after it ended with season 3, saying it's "still out there in the universe." He's also reiterated that he'd like to adapt The Silence of the Lambs with Zendaya in the lead as Clarice Starling.

"I would love to do a Clarice story," Fuller tells Screen Rant. "I'm a big fan of Zendaya. I think she would be an amazing Clarice Starling, and bring a completely different temperature and point of view to the character than what we've had before. I would love to get Zendaya and Mads Mikkelsen together in a Hannibal story."
