Bryan Fuller Dream Casts David Bowie as Hannibal Lecter’s Uncle For Hannibal: Season 2

David Bowie should be in everything. Why? Because he's David Bowie, and he, just by the nature of his David Bowie-ness, adds an appealing sense of oddity, not to mention rock-star gravitas, to whatever roll he's in. If you don't remember him from Labyrinth, perhaps you recall his unnerving appearance in David Lynch's cinematic prequel to his Twin Peaks series, Fire Walk With Me, or his work in Christopher Nolan's The Prestige as real life inventor Nikola Tesla.

It seems I'm not the only one who feels strongly about  the inherent appeal of Mr. Ziggy Stardust. In a recent interview with Getty Images Entertainment, Hannibal creator and executive producer Bryan Fuller said he'd love to see the glam rock icon in Season 2 of his series.

"I guess my dream casting for the show would be to cast David Bowie as Hannibal Lecter’s uncle," Fuller told the outlet "If we get a second season I will reach out and see if there is any interest. 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.”

Unfortunately, Hannibal hasn't been renewed for a second season yet. So, hopefully some more viewers will tune in for this, really very good, serial killer drama so that we can be treated to a Lecter family reunion - as played by Bowie and Mads Mikkelsen.
