Well it’s called Hannibal.

Debatably the show has two protagonists. Hannibal’s motivations and perspectives are shown as often as Will’s. Hugh and Mads’ names change places in the credits every other episode.

The "does the title define the protagonist" is an old argument, but I would say in this case, no, the title is intended to hook people on the IP. Similarly, the credits are about contracts.

To me, Hannibal is a cat and mouse horror, and the protagonist/antagonist dynamic is not only pretty set, but the dynamism of character is about Will not Hannibal, whom you don't expect or want to change. I think I mentioned Frankenstein above, and that's a pretty similar issue, where you get both Frankenstein and Adam's perspectives, and Adam's perspective is meant to be very impactful and significant but the point is really about Frankenstein, since to a certain extent Adam (and in this case Hannibal) is still treated as the more alien of the two, even if...Adam (and Hannibal) is equally if not more interesting.
