Is hannibal gay for will

That said, of course Will and Hannibal's relationship doesn't have to have a sexual component. There is strong sexual subtext in the show, but they never had sex, so everyone is free to imagine the version of events they prefer.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the show’s executive producer Bryan Fuller gave insight into Will and Hannibal’s unexpected love story. “It started out as kind of a fascination with how straight guys interact with each other in a romantic way that is not sexual,” he revealed.
