'Hannibal' Season 4 News: Amazon & Netflix Pass on New Episodes After NBC Cancelled in 2015

If you're following the news and drama surrounding the recently cancelled NBC horror TV series Hannibal and the campaign to save its season four episodes and general future, we have a major setback to share with you this week. According to a Twitter conversation with the show's creator, Bryan Fuller, both Netflix and Amazon have passed on possibly producing more episodes of the Dr. Lecter series. Though these two streaming services were the favorites for saving Hannibal, Fuller has told viewers and fans of the show that there is still hope for another season and possibly a movie!

As we previously reported, the chances of either of these two streaming companies taking on the next season of the show were slim, but still possible. Netflix was a stretch, though Fuller had recently talked about the popular service showing great interest in making more episodes of Hannibal. Considering the series has a deal with Amazon though, we weren't holding our breath on a totally new contract with Netflix. Plus, Amazon's involvement with the show was through NBC, so a continuation wasn't too likely. We learned this week that we were right to be cautious in getting our hopes up.
