It has been accepted for inclusion in Media Studies - Theses by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When it aired in Fall 2011 on Fox, Terra Nova was an experiment in creating a cult television program that appealed to a mass audience. This thesis is a case study of that experiment. I conclude that the show failed because of its attempts to maintain the sophistication, complexity and innovative nature of the cult genre while simultaneously employing an overly simplistic narrative structure that resembles that of mass audience programming. Terra Nova was unique in its transmedia approach to marketing and storytelling, its advanced special effects, and its dystopian speculative fiction premise. Terra Nova’s narrative, on the other hand, presented a nostalgically simple moralistic landscape that upheld old-fashioned ideologies and felt oddly retro to the modern SF TV audience. Terra Nova’s failure suggests that a cult show made for this type of broad audience is impossible.

  • 228 Hannibal, Seasons
    The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 16 (Autumn 2017) Hannibal, Seasons 1-3 (NBC, 2012-15) The TV series Hannibal was developed by Bryan Fuller and aired on NBC from April 2013 to August 2015. Unfortunately, the series was cancelled after Season 3 due to falling ratings, although it is now available on DVD and Netflix (and there are rumours that the show may be resurrected in the near future).1 Hannibal focuses on the character that first made his fictional debut in Thomas Harris’s Red Dragon (1981) and went on to appear in the novels The Silence of the Lambs (1988), Hannibal (1999), and Hannibal Rising (2006). Dr Hannibal Lecter then attained even wider fame via the novels’ five cinematic adaptations. Lecter (played here by Mads Mikkelsen) is a brilliant, elegant, and refined psychiatrist and an exceptional cook, with a gorgeous office and a polished, almost sterile house in Baltimore. The series functions as a prequel to the books and four of the films: Hannibal collaborates with the FBI in order to help capture serial killers, but he is himself a manipulative and sadistic murderer who cannibalises his victims’ organs. Hannibal is therefore a therapist who can dissect not only the minds of his patients and adversaries, but also the tissues of their very bodies.2 Each of the titles of almost every episode is the name of a dish, such as ‘Amuse Bouche’, ‘Mukozuke’, and ‘Antipasto’ (respectively in French, Japanese, and Italian). During the first two seasons, each episode largely consists of an investigation into the murders committed by a specific killer, although there are also a number of overarching storylines that span each season and portray the evolving relationships between the main characters.

Currently, American Gods is the most watched show in the UK on Prime Video. “We’re delighted to bring a second season of Neil Gaiman’s riveting story to fans across the globe,” said Tim Leslie, Vice President, International, Prime Video. “Audiences have responded overwhelmingly to season one – it is stunning entertainment unlike anything else and we can’t wait for the next series.” In Season one, viewers encountered a war brewing between Old Gods and New. The traditional Old Gods, with mythological roots from around the world, fear irrelevance as their believers die off or are seduced by the money, technology, and celebrity offered by the New Gods. Adapted from the award-winning novel by Neil Gaiman, American Gods stars Ricky Whittle (The 100, Austenland) as protagonist ex-con Shadow Moon, Ian McShane (Deadwood, Pirates of the Caribbean) as Mr. Wednesday, who enlists Shadow Moon as part of his cross-country mission, and Emily Browning (Sucker Punch, Legend) as Shadow’s wife, Laura Moon. American Gods Season one also features Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) as Media, the mouthpiece for the New Gods, Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies, Wicked) as Easter, Pablo Schreiber (13 Hours, Orange Is the New Black) as Mad Sweeney, and Yetide Badaki (Aquarius, Masters of Sex) as Bilquis.

  • €˜American Gods’ Creators Tackle Religion As Starz Sticks with a Diverse Content Slate
    ‘American Gods’ Creators Tackle Religion as Starz Sticks with a Diverse Content Slate 08.01.2016 American Gods Showrunner and Executive Producer Bryan Fuller was raised Catholic. Showrunner and Executive Producer Michael Green was raised Jewish. "It's hard not to recognize the power religion gives to people, and the inspiration in their daily lives," Fuller said during a Television Critics Association summer press tour panel about Starz's new series set to premiere in 2017. The two friends-who first worked together on Heroes and "have been talking for the last 10 years on how to get back into business together"-wanted to reinforce the positive aspects of faith. The series "manages to discuss religion in an inclusive way," Fuller said. American Gods, based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, shows mythological gods from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society's modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. RELATED: Starz' 'American Gods' Coming in 2017 Protagonist Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is an ex-con who becomes the bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane), who appears as a conman but is in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities. "Largely it's about forgotten myths, forgotten cultures … things prayed to quietly," Green said. In adopting the book for television, it was also about not "f-cking up" something so passionately loved by so many people. "But we are two of those people," Green said.

  • “Not Just Another Serial Killer Show: Hannibal, Complexity, and the Televisual Palimpsest”
    1 “Not Just Another Serial Killer Show: Hannibal, Complexity, and the Televisual Palimpsest” Stacey Abbott University of Roehampton Department of Media Culture and Language, Southlands College, Roehampton Lane, London SW15 5SL [email protected] @StaceyAbbottRU Stacey Abbott is a Reader in Film and Television Studies at the University of Roehampton. She is the author of Undead Apocalypse: Vampires and Zombies in the 21st Century (2016), Celluloid Vampires (2007), Angel: TV Milestone (2009), co-author, with Lorna Jowett, of TV Horror: The Dark Side of the Small Screen (2012), and editor of The Cult TV Book (2010). She has written extensively about the horror genre on film and television and is currently writing a book on Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark. Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon (1981) introduced readers to the highly intelligent, articulate and cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter, albeit in his first outing restricted to his prison cell and serving as a reluctant consultant to the FBI profiler who captured him, Will Graham. The book was followed by three sequels in which Lecter takes an increasingly central place within the narrative: The Silence of the Lambs (1988), Hannibal (1999) and Hannibal Rising (2006). These novels have been source material for a total of five cinematic adaptations: Michael Mann’s Manhunter (1986), Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Ridley Scott’s 2 Hannibal (2001), Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon (2002), and the prequel Peter Webber’s Hannibal Rising (2007). According to Philip Jenkins, the influence of Harris’ books in the construction of the image of the modern serial killer within popular media was “vastly enhanced by the release of the film versions,” the success of which attracted many imitators with “some novels claim[ing] to be in the tradition of The Silence of the Lambs, or to have villains in the tradition of Hannibal Lecter” (1994, 89).
