10 Infuriating TV Cliffhangers You Didn't Realise Had Answers

Hanninal ironically ended on a cliffhanger by having its two central characters - Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) - go tumbling over a cliff edge.

NBC subsequently cancelled the show due to low ratings, leaving fans to speculate on their fates ever since.

Now in fairness, the final episode's post-credits scene - in which Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) sits at a table beside her own cooked leg, with two additional places set for dinner - did at least hint that the duo survived, though certainly didn't confirm it.

While Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller initially played coy about confirming Hannibal and Will's fates, in later years once it became clear that the show wouldn't be picked up for a fourth season, he finally relented.

In a reply to a since-deleted 2019 tweet asking about the cliffhanger, Fuller confirmed that they indeed both survived, ensuring that if Hannibal is ever given an unlikely revival, we can expect to see both Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy back. Here's hoping.
