NBC cancels Hannibal.

But fear not, since there's been talk about others wanting to partner with the show and find them a new home if and when the day came that NBC decided to let them go. So hopefully we'll be seeing more seasons of Hannibal, just not with NBC.

They always said that the show was always on the cusp of being threatened with cancellation due to its subject matter, though it makes me sad since the third season just started with the move to the summer. I would've thought that such a move would've been better for the ratings, turns out not so much. But imagine the show being picked up by something like Netflix, where Bryan Fuller can go all out with his imagination that NBC wouldn't allow him to. Hannibal is a show that is certainly not for everyone, but it is still a show that has had a loyal fanbase and is worth keeping around, if only for one more season to wrap everything up with how Fuller wants to handle his version of the Hannibal Lector story.

i've always wanted to watch this show, but can't bring myself to bc i'm not great w/ gore. shame it's being canceled, though! i've heard nothing but good things.

Yeah, this is one show where I can positively say that if you're squeamish about gore it might not be for you. Because while it is beautifully shot in such an artistic manner, it is quite graphic with the body horror and imagery, never mind the unsettling nature of what goes on. It's something I know I can handle, but I know many others cannot.

NBC may not want the show anymore, but I'm hoping that them shopping around for other partners willing to pick it up will be successful. They are just as passionate as the fans are, so I'm remaining positive and supportive that they will find a new home so the show can continue.
