A writer for the TV series Hannibal has revealed that Bryan Fuller "has a great idea" for the show's potential fourth season.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Nick Antosca said he knows what the idea is and confirmed that there ARE talks about the show coming back.

"I've heard there are talks," said Antosca.

"I know Bryan Fuller has a great idea for what the fourth season would be and Bryan, Don Mancini (writer-producer), Steve Lightfoot (writer-executive producer), all those people – and me of course – are hoping that we get to do it.

"I know what the idea is - I mean, unless he's changed it. He had a very cool idea that we would have done had he gotten another season."

Hannibal ran for three seasons on NBC until it was cancelled in 2015.

Since then, a grassroots movement to get the show back on air for a fourth season has inspired series creator Fuller to try to shop the series to another distributor.

And it may actually be working, as last month, Fuller revealed conversations about the show's not-yet-official fourth season have started and even teased his great idea for Mads Mikkelsen's character in season four.

"I have conversations with [Hannibal executive producer] Martha De Laurentiis," he said.

"I have conversations with Mads and Hugh [Dancy]. We're all excited about the prospect of returning to the story. There's some hurdles to get through... [But] I just had a great idea for season 4.

"There's an interesting next chapter in the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter that would be fascinating to unpack. I've shared it with the gentlemen and they're both keen on it."
