Last Updated on August 2, 2021

This past Friday night brought us the long-awaited return of NBC's "Hannibal" with season 2 kicking off with a bang, and today we have a look at the season ahead via a new promo, as well as the synopsis for next weeks episode titled 'Sakizuki'.

"Hannibal" ep. 2×02 'Sakizuki'

The case of the human soup becomes clearer when a victim that has escaped from the killer’s clutches washes downstream after a deadly fall, leaving valuable evidence for the BAU team to uncover. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) assists on the case, sniffing out clues of his own from of the victim’s body. Meanwhile, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) begins a plan of manipulation from within the asylum, set on proving his own innocence. Hannibal is able to put the clues together before the BAU team, arriving at the killer’s silo and helping him to carry out his fascinating, yet deadly tableau… just not in the way the killer intended. Jack (Laurence Fishburne) tries to deal with his guilt over not protecting Will and submits to mandated therapy after Alana Bloom’s (Caroline Dhavernas) scathing report. To Jack’s surprise the counseling turns out to be beneficial. The BAU team independently arrives at the silo, finding a human tapestry of forty-seven bodies patched together, the killer hidden in plain sight. Awaiting his upcoming trial, Will is surprised by an unexpected guest – Bedelia du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) – who gives him a much-needed boost to his psyche. Also starring Hettienne Park and Aaron Abrams.

"Hannibal" airs on Friday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
