This is obviously going to Netflix. No other non-premium channel would pick it up. HBO, I suppose, is a possibility.

Last year, it was widely reported that Hulu had the option to pick up the show if it was cancelled. And Amazon already has early streaming rights to the show through Prime. And isn't Fuller involved with adapting American Gods for Starz?

If it stays canceled and doesn't go anywhere, I will miss the murder art.

Hulu would be fucking gross. Service is shit.
Starz is also basically trash.

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't get picked up by someone.
Unlike most people I know I've been enjoying this season so far. I've seen several people complaining that it's confusing. Well, no shit Sherlock. I'd imagine that being in any kind of relationship with Hannibal IS confusing. I mean, he got someone to chew his own face off and convinced someone else he was a psychopath.
Keep it disorientating, dizzying, impenetrable. There's no shortage of spoon-fed, bland storytelling in the world already.

I think the ratings were shit. The article I read said something along the lines of "they moved it to a summer show, where ratings are typically terrible, then moved it to a shitty time slot (Thursdays at 10pm EST)."

Hannibal always struggled in ratings, moving it to summer killed it. Its a surprise they kept it around as long as they did.

Hannibal always struggled in ratings, moving it to summer killed it. Its a surprise they kept it around as long as they did. Hannibal's ratings were godawful. They moved it to summer so it didn't have to compete against anything and ratings are expected to be terrible for summer programming. Ratings were still bad for the timeslot, but they renewed for a third season. And ratings actually have been declining down to "The CW would cancel this" level for Season 3. NBC wanted to hang onto it, both because it was a critical darling and there is some financing deal in place where they split financing with a foreign company, but the dropping ratings this season were the last straw. How is Thursday at 10pm a shitty timeslot? It has to be on at 10pm, due to content, and Thursdays are better than Friday or Saturday. Literally, everyone involved with the show has been thanking NBC for giving them as much of a chance as they did.

Yea, I hate NBC for this shit, but I don't fault them for it. It would thrive on Netflix.

Absolutely. Perfect for Netflix where people know what to expect... or, at least, aren't horrified like they get on network TV. Someone was telling me that there were all sorts of religious and conservative organizations (I hate organizations) campaigning against it. That might work on network TV, but I don't think Netflix cares so much. That reminds me... I wonder if any of the TV stations are going to announce they won't be showing films that have the confederate flag in it?

Amazon and Netflix have both passed on picking up Hannibal.

Does the cancellation presage a spectacular ending? I am wondering if I should invest in buying season 3 on iTunes for my commute. Loved the first two seasons.

The final episode of Hannibal (season 3) was pretty good though the post-credits scene felt a bit forced.

If not already on Netlfix, it should be soon ... these '2 to 4 seasons' NBC shows seem to have been heading there often...

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.
