The first season of Hannibal follows FBI Agent Will Graham's (Hugh Dancy) as he becomes increasingly immersed in his efforts to find a brutal serial killer. When Special Agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) pairs him with a highly skilled psychiatrist - who, unbeknownst to them, is the perpetrator himself, notorious serial killer Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) - Will questions his own sanity as his cannibalistic partner subjects him to a series of mind games.
