Well they did that sort of with the TV series "Hannibal" with one of the seasons.It is indeed... And a much more faithful adaptation, I believe, than the movie actually titled "Red Dragon" which starred Edward Norton as FBI profiler Will Graham.
The Thomas Harris novel, by the way, is EXCELLENT. Time constraints kept either movie from getting into the torturous (and tortured) back story of Francis Dolarhyde, who becomes the Red Dragon. That novel really deserves to be adapted into a top-notch TV mini-series...
