Cancel that fourth meal as NBC has cancelled Hannibal after three seasons.
In a statement, NBC said, "We have been tremendously proud of "Hannibal" over its three seasons. "(Showrunner Bryan Fuller) 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 audience around the world."
Fuller also made a statement: "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 Sale 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."
Don't worry Hannibal fans, NBC will still air all of the 10 episodes of the series current season. The series has been on the bubble of cancellation ever since it's debut.
"Hannibal" has used the contents of Thomas Harris' bestselling novels of "Red Dragon," "Hannibal" and "Hannibal Rising." But the one most popular has been a no reach, "The Silence of the Lambs." Ever since the series begin, Fuller has been trying to get the rights to the book but all attempts have failed.
Just like the first two seasons of the show, the current season will end with a finale that can serve as both a season ender or a series closer. Fuller told Entertainment Weekly that for season four, it would be "more radical" and that "There is a pocket in one of the novels of some really rich interesting character material that I'm inverting and twisting around."
You can catch "Hannibal" Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC
