'Hannibal' Season 3: Bryan Fuller, Richard Armitage & Cast React To Cancellation, What's Next? [VIDEO]
Hannibal the cannibal will say goodbye to NBC when season 3 comes to a close.
The network announced on Monday that the psychological-thriller will not return for a fourth season - at least not on NBC. Although the Bryan Fuller series has received low ratings, Hannibal has a dedicated fanbase and the showrunner is hoping to keep Dr. Lecter's (Mads Mikkelsen) story going.
"I would love to see the show continue," Fuller informed BuzzFeed. "The plan for Season 4 was perhaps my favorite season arc yet."
In the wake of the unfortunate news, the cast and crew took to Twitter in a unanimous diplay of class. Instead of bemoaning the possible end of Hannibal, every one from the production company to long-time members of the Toronto-based crew had nothing but positive messages to share:
It felt incomprehensibly, wonderfully crazy that any of it aired at all. So assuming it was a collective dream, thanks for conjuring me. XO
