Hannibal director David Slade reunites with Bryan Fuller on Starz’s American Gods
Bryan Fuller is moving on from Hannibal to co-showrun Starz’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, and he’s going to be bringing another Hannibal survivor with him: executive producer/director David Slade. That’s according to The Wrap, which says Slade will direct the American Gods pilot plus “several more down the line.” Slade only directed a handful of Hannibal episodes, but that handful includes the pilot (which established the show’s beautiful-yet-haunting tone) and “Mizumono,” the great second season finale that ended in a glorious bloodbath that left pretty much every character but Hannibal slowly dying. So, yeah, it seems obvious why Fuller would want to work with him again.
