Fans of the popular NBC show, "Hannibal," could not have guessed the multiple twists and turns that happened in the series finale.

While viewers previously questioned if the series would live up to the novel, "Red Dragon," there were a few changes in the novel that didn't play out on the show.

According to IBtimes, in the show, once Will Graham was convinced that Dolarhyde was indeed alive, he convinces Jack to plan a fake escape for Hannibal so they could capture Dolarhyde. This scene is actually not in the novel. In the book, Dolarhyde instead follows Will home and stabs him in the face, leaving Molly to forcibly end the Dragon's life. Hannibal, after hearing the news of what happened to Will, sends him a letter wishing him well and hopes that his face isn't totally disfigured. The letter, however, was intercepted by Jack and later destroys it.

The show focused on Will plotting not only Dolarhyde's death, but Hannibal's death as well. The letter from Hannibal to Will in the novel, has been changed, as in the show, viewers saw Will visiting Lecter to persuade him to be part of their scheme. Hannibal, however, reluctantly agreed.

The end of the show cements the death of Dolarhyde and introduced Will as the killer Hannibal has been forcing him to be throughout the third season.

Show creator, Bryan Fuller, recently sat down with the Hollywood Reporter and when asked if there are any plans of creating a movie, he said:

"[Executive producer] Martha De Laurentiis is looking into financing for a film. I'm still hoping that we get to tell that story in some way. There is something in the novel 'Hannibal' that has not been done in any of the adaptations and I would love to explore that with Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter. I'm hoping that someday, whether it's a year from now ... two years from now ... that we will continue to get to tell that story. I feel like if Will Graham did survive that plunge, his most interesting chapter is yet to be told."
