NBC Cancels HANNIBAL

After three seasons, NBC has officially canceled HANNIBAL, according to Deadline. The network will air the remainder of the show's episodes during its regular time.

Per the report, "...Likely more suited for cable, it did well on DVR, on-demand and social media...with NBC opting to hold Season 3 for the summer, where the drama has delivered soft ratings."

The dark and haunting series "Hannibal" returns for a third season, revealing the fates of characters hanging in the balance, and the continuing psychological cat and mouse games they face.

After the shocking events of the season two finale, Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) is on the run in Europe-accompanied by his psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson)-sporting a new identity, but servicing the same insatiable appetite. As the lives of Will (Hugh Dancy), Jack (Laurence Fishburne), and Alana (Caroline Dhavernas) converge toward Hannibal again, each with their own motivations to catch him once and for all, their deadly dance turns in startling and unexpected ways.

In the second half of the season, Jack implores Will to help him catch a new threat, a serial killer preying on families, known in the press as the Tooth Fairy, but self-proclaimed as The Great Red Dragon. The hunt may force Will to turn to an unwelcome source of insight-his old adversary, Hannibal.
