NBC Cancels ‘Hannibal’

The Peacock is putting the breaks on the acclaimed drama Hannibal.

NBC had this to say

We have been tremendously proud of Hannibal over its three seasons,” NBC said in a statement. 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 audiences around the world.

Showrunner Bryan Fuller released his own statement today

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.

NBC does plan to continue with the release of the remaining 10 episodes, and they will be released at the normal time of 10 PM on Thursdays.
