NBC says of tonight’s “Naka Choko”:
The bond between Hannibal and Will grows after Will demonstrates his willingness to go to dark places, a shift that does not go unnoticed by Jack. Jack and the FBI team investigate a tableau made of Randal Tier (Mark O'Brien) and his animal exoskeleton, fully realized as the vicious hunter he yearned to be (episode 209). Hannibal advises Margot Verger (Katherine Isabelle) regarding her concerns over her brother Mason's violent nature, a fear that intensifies when Mason demonstrates how he has trained pigs to consume human flesh. Will agrees to an interview with Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) for her upcoming book, and learns that she is looking into his allegations of Hannibal's possible guilt.
Basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the top-of-show interview guest on tonight’s “Real Time With Bill Maher.” Musician Ziggy Marley is the mid-show interview guest. The roundtable guests are author Walter Kirn, Calif. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and hot finance expert Monica Mehta.
“Hannibal” hit another uptick last Friday, but will it be enough to keep it on NBC?
TV By The Numbers predicts a likely renewal because foreign financing makes Gaumont’s Lecter saga a relatively inexpensive proposition for NBC. And I say 13 Friday-night hours per year is not a huge sacrifice to keep such a lively and compelling drama on the air.
