With its low ratings it should come as no surprise
that NBC has decided not to renew Bryan Fuller's Hannibal for a fourth season
despite it being one of the best shows currently airing.
NBC has allowed us to craft a television series that
no other broadcast network would have dared, and kept us on the air for three
seasons despite Cancellation Bear Chow ratings and images that would have
shredded the eyeballs of lesser Standards & Practices enforcers. Jen Salke
and her team have been fantastic partners and creatively supportive beyond
measure. HANNIBAL is finishing his last course at NBC’s table this summer, but
a hungry cannibal can always dine again. And personally, I look forward to my
next meal with NBC.
Though it airs on NBC, Hannibal is not a peacock
produced series, which means that Gaumont the producers could sell the series
to either another network or, and more likely, to some online provider like
Netflix, or Amazon.
Meanwhile a NBC spokesman added:
We have been tremendously proud of ‘Hannibal’
over its three seasons,” NBC said in a statement. “Bryan and his team of
writers and producers, as well as our incredible actors, have brought a visual
palette of storytelling that has been second to none in all of television —
broadcast or cable. We thank Gaumont and everyone involved in the show for
their tireless efforts that have made ‘Hannibal’ an incredible experience for
audiences around the world.
While Hannibal's future lingers in the air, we can
still enjoy the remaining of the third season.
