Samk Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 NBC is closing the book on Hannibal. The network has canceled Bryan Fuller's Silence of the Lambs prequel series after three seasons. The full 13-episode third season will run its course on Thursdays at 10 p.m., concluding Sept. 3. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that there may have been a rights issue at the center of the decision to end the series as Fuller had wanted to introduce Clarice Starling in season four, with the rights to the character previously portrayed by Jodie Foster said to be unavailable. Producers Gaumont TV are currently exploring options to find another home for the series. “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 Cancelation Bear Chow ratings and images that would have shredded the eyeballs of lesser Standards & Practices enforcers," Fuller said in a statement. "[NBC Entertainment exec] 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.” Added NBC in a statement: “We have been tremendously proud of Hannibal over its three seasons. 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 [producers] Gaumont and everyone involved in the show for their tireless efforts that have made Hannibal an incredible experience for audiences around the world.” http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/hannibal-canceled-at-nbc-804239 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppleJack Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I really hope that Netflicks does for Hannibal what it did for The Killing and Trailer Park boys (thought swear net might have lots to do with the trailer park boys) and picks up Hannibal and does another season.

infinitecarnage Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 well no surprise there. while cheesy soap operas like dexter, game of thrones, true blood, vampire diaries, modern family and walking dead go on for eternity, masterpieces like hannibal, the sarah connor chronicles, continuum and in the flesh get cancelled because the majority of the tv audience still wants shows that insult their intelligence. let's hope for a season 4 on netflix, hbo or some kind of kickstarter project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaft Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sarah Connor Chronicles was a very good show. It came out at the wrong time and the writers strike didn't help either. I have hope that Hannibal will get picked up by another network. It has a good following even though the ratings say otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
