Hannibal Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

For a show that only had 39 episodes over three seasons, it’s a bit shocking to hear how passionate people are about “Hannibal.” Even folks who aren’t fans of network TV commend Bryan Fuller’s reimagining of the classic serial killer character from “Silence of the Lambs.” It feels like a show that was just too far ahead of its time, and it got cancelled because of that.

It’s been nearly six years since “Hannibal” ended its run on NBC. The series was seemingly expected to be picked up for a fourth season but the network surprisingly canceled the acclaimed thriller, leaving fans to wonder what might have happened next.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a number of canceled shows find new life with revivals after years of being off the air. And with that trend not stopping anytime soon, there are plenty of fans that would love to see NBC’s “Hannibal” get revived for a fourth season.

Though CBS appears to be moving forward with a “Silence of the Lambs” sequel series, “Clarice,” focused on Clarice Starling, NBC had already proven that ‘Silence’ spin-offs can work extremely well on TV with the series, “Hannibal.” Unfortunately, “Hannibal” is a series that was well ahead of its time and was unceremoniously canceled before the story could really be fully told.
