It is once again time to sit down to dinner and don our flower crowns. (Just don’t be rude at the table.) Hannibal‘s Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen are adding another stop to their 2024 Hannibal Reunion Tour, and it’s a big one. Yes, Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy will be heading to New York Comic Con (NYCC) to reunite once more in celebration of Hannibal. And we know that Fannibals could not be more excited to consume this delicious news.
New York is the spot where Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy had their first-ever panel appearance together at Paley Fest 2014. ( Ten years ago!) And this memory palace room is beloved among fans of Hannibal. So it’s only fitting that Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy return to the city where it all began and meat with lovers of Hannibal to take photos, sign autographs, and, of course, share a panel at NYCC 2024. ( A panel you can watch live for free on Nerdist‘s YouTube channel.)
What Days Will Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen Attend NYCC?
Fannibals ready to feast are surely asking, but what days can we see Hannibal‘s Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen? Mikkelsen and Dancy will attend NYCC on Saturday, October 19, and Sunday, October 20. As mentioned, they’ll be available for autographs, photo ops, and a duo panel.
Make sure to mark down those dates on your calendar. Telling time might not be Will Graham’s problem, but it sure will be ours if we forget when the Hannibal NYCC 2024 reunion is happening.
When Will NYCC’s Hannibal Panel with Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen Take Place?
Of course, of great interest, is the duo panel that Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy will share on the NYCC stage. The Hannibal NYCC reunion panel will occur on Sunday, October 20. It will take place on the Main Stage at 12:45pm ET. And yes, Nerdist‘s very own Editor-in-Chief Rotem Rusak (currently penning this article) will be moderating. See you there!
What About Fannibals Who Can’t Get to NYCC?
ReedPop knows that fans of Hannibal are everywhere. And being everywhere means that not everyone will be able to attend NYCC 2024 and see Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen in person. But thankfully, there is more than one way to share these rooms in our minds. ReedPop notes that “Fans unable to attend NYCC in person can participate in send-in autograph opportunities with the Hannibal cast members through ReedPop’s exclusive autograph partner, SWAU.”
Additionally, fans can sign up to become Popverse Superfans at thepopverse.com. Fans who purchase a Popverse Fan or Superfan Membership will have digital access to NYCC. For $65/year, Popverse Fans can stream select NYCC panels live or on-demand. As Superfans, members also receive first access to purchase autographing sessions, photo ops, and exclusive merchandise throughout the year for $99 annually.
On top of this, Nerdist is partnering with ReedPop and Paragon Creative Agency to bring you unprecedented remote access to New York Comic Con.

More About NYCC!
Although Hannibal will be the main draw for more than one attendee, many other incredible shows and guests will have a presence at NYCC. We’re especially excited about Fallout stars Ella Purnell, Walter Goggins, and Aaron Moten; Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Paul Bettany, Josh Brolin, and Hayley Atwell; Matt Smith(Doctor Who, The Crown, House of the Dragon); and Glynn Carney (House of the Dragon, Dunkirk). New York Comic Con will take place from October 17 to October 20, 2024.
The NYCC 2024 line-up is hotter than ever, and you won’t want to miss a moment of it.
Fannibals Are Still Hungry for More Hannibal Reunions
It’s incredible that over eleven years since Hannibal first aired, and nearly a decade since cancellation, fans of Hannibal are still filling full panel halls at some of the biggest conventions around. The Hannibal reunion tour’s stop at NYCC in 2024 really reveals just how hungry Fannibals still are for more of their favorite show. If there is this much enthusiasm and excitement so long after the first three seasons of the show aired, just imagine what it would be like if Hannibal ever got a season four. We know we’re dreaming about it.
Thankfully, we no longer have to dream about Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy reuniting to talk about Hannibal in front of an excited crowd. That’s happening. We hope to meat you (and all Fannibals) soon at NYCC’s Hannibal reunion panel.
