NBC has canned the cannibal show, but with its lavish production, fine acting and intelligent script, surely it’s is perfect for cable, Hulu, Netflix or Amazon
Unleash the gags about last suppers - NBC has cancelled Hannibal. (Although how anybody can joke at a time like this is more upsetting than the series’ most graphic scenes.)
With the final episode scheduled to air on 3 September, the Bryan Fuller-directed series about the exploits of the cannibal psychiatrist invented by Thomas Harris will end its three-season run and break the hearts of fannibals everywhere.
“We have been tremendously proud of Hannibal over its three seasons,” the network 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.”
Well, anybody who watches Hannibal knows the cancellation isn’t the result of a decline in quality, especially with the addition of (queen) Gillian Anderson this season. However, the Hollywood Reporter claims the show may have come up against a rights issue (in that Fuller and friends don’t have rights to the character of Clarice Starling, who they were reportedly hoping to introduce next season), on top of the series’s slipping ratings. Heartbreakingly, Hannibal hit a low of 1.66 million viewers the week of 11 June when it went up against the NBA finals, and its fate on cable was effectively sealed.
