Entertainment and Technology in new AXN, ‘Hannibal’ series



Move over CSI! Scoot to the side, NCIS! There’s a new procedural show in town! AXN premiered the newest addition to its suspense series last April 8. ‘Hannibal’, an American thriller is based on the book franchise by Thomas Harris. It is about Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a forensic psychiatrist who is also a cannibalistic serial killer.

The TV show follows the book closely, chronicling the budding friendship between FBI special investigator Will Graham. But this is not what makes the show stand out! Sony Pictures Television (SPT) Networks has unveiled its custom 2nd screen viewing app to accompany viewers as they watch the scenes unfold. Users can log into the app while watching the show and be provided with exclusive content, behind the scenes footage and integrated social media events. Imagine knowing how the series is made while enjoying Hannibal’s chilly personality from home!

Hannibal’s 2nd screen app is a groundbreaking first in pay TV. For the first time, you can synchronize your iOS phones and tablets to your television sets. Simply open the app, sit back and watch. Audio watermarking sensors will ‘listen’ to dialogue and offer related trivia to the avid fan.

Now talk about the perfect marriage between entertainment and technology!
