Netflix and amazon can't afford to rescue every show that networks drop
One of them is actually good.Hmmmm... the most successful show on Cable TV vs the least successful show in Network TV history? Tough choice.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering about. If true then maybe Fuller's vision isn't so hot after all if given too much creative freedom.If anything, season 3 (mildly spoilery interview at that link) is even more heavily driven by Fuller's vision for the show than what came before:
Should just announce its death instead of stringing us along. It's over.
Personally, I'm glad they're being entirely honest with us while exploring every option for the show.
Crackle it is...
Stop watching shitty shows and maybe this won't happen.
That scheduling issue was a very big factor in Amazon’s passing on more Hannibal, sources tell me. With American Gods starting to ramp up, Fuller wouldn’t be available for more than a year to dig into more Hannibal — a timespan Amazon was not willing to wait out.
EDIT: LOL Fuller, really?
. . . are you serious. GET BACK IN THAT GODDAMN NEGOTIATION ROOM, FULLER.
Fuck yes.What you guys aren't seeing is that Fuller could just recast Dancy and Mads in American Gods now!
Coming home to this news makes me want to eat someone. I'm so upset.
I doubt he's in the negotiating room.
I just. Wow. You killed your own show. Congratulations?

Hannibal the Cannibal fails to win the hearts of viewers nationwide...early reports claim that they simply could not stomach him.
Well, at least we got three seasons of this brilliant show.
All of a sudden, this tinfoil-hatted conspiracy rabble from last week seems a lot more prescient:I mean, did he say 'yes' to American Gods when he knew he'd have to be looking for other networks to pick it up in such a short amount of time? That... would make me so, so sad I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose, right? That doesn't make any sense at all :\
Even though the collective world acted surprised by the cancellation of NBC’s “Hannibal,” I’ve been holding the stance that it was always the plan. There have been enough clues in past writings that NBC and show runner Bryan Fuller always imagined the series as a trilogy of sorts, and us fans were “gifted” a third season in order to tie it all together.
Still, when “Hannibal” was canceled, there was a lot of talk about it continuing on through a streaming platform like Amazon or Netflix.
In some fresh news, we learn how this is probably impossible, and get the vibe that, as suggested above, this was always the plan.
Two seasons of a brilliant show and one season of Bryan Fuller's Arthouse Extravaganza.
Neither of Season 3's two arcs are complete yet. So it's a bit early to be this dismissive.Two seasons of a brilliant show and one season of Bryan Fuller's Arthouse Extravaganza.

I should have expected Vince Gilligan & co. to deliver the goods, but it was a genuine surprise when the first season got as good as it did without stealing Breaking Bad's thunder. It's a testament to the great writing and actors.If we're counting TV shows on hiatus, I think Better Call Saul is the best one right now.
Those episodes are underrated. The show knows exactly what it's doing. The first three episodes might have verged on indulgent, but it was for the valid purpose of revealing the characters' states of mind after the shattering events of Season 2's finale. Season 3 has given us a worthy replacement for S2's Mason Verger, shown Hannibal being more fully himself than ever before (that ice pick scene though!), let us spend more time with the delightful Dr. Gideon (whose scenes are twisted and brilliant from start to finish), delivered one of the series' strongest nightmare images (We're five episodes into a 13-episode season so we're going to have to agree to disagree on that point.
EDIT: LOL Fuller, really?
The irony.
Fuller finally gets to helm a third season of one of his creations, and in the end, was to one to kill the whole thing dead.
He just can't keep a show going to save his life
