I remember reading from an interview right before this season premiered. Bryan said the first half focuses on Hannibal and Bedelia in Europe. And the second half focuses on Red Dragon. So I would assume they would finish the arc. I would love it if Netflix or Amazon would pick this up because I don’t want to have to wait a week to catch the next episode.

Bryan also said season 4 would be a lot like the first half of season 3.

If the show does find a new home, let’s also hope they can finally secure the rights to Silence of the Lambs. I know Bryan has been trying for a while. I am dying to see his take on it.

In reply to BlondieAmbition. I totally agree. As much as I love the show, I've been struggling with Season 3 as well. It's been too cryptic and hard to follow. I imagine that anyone who hasn't seen all the movies would be competely lost by now. That being said, I still hope it gets picked up by another network and the problems with Season 3 will be reigned in.

In reply to Black.

Interested to see at what point in the season Dolarhyde shows up. Like you say, I really hope his whole story is confined to this one season, or else the final season could leave us all wanting more – which would be a huge bummer. I’d hate for the show to go out without having told a complete story. But again. I’m fairly certain we have nothing to worry about, as the show is likely to be picked up by someone else in the near future. Will be surprised if it’s not.

In reply to BlondieAmbition. Season 3 has thus far been quite different from previous seasons, for sure. As much as I hate to say it, it might've been best for the show to get cancelled after Season 2. That finale was such a perfect ending to the story that was being told up until that point, and now I worry that Season 3 is going to leave us all wanting a whole lot more. But hey, hopefully another network picks it up real soon.

i agree. brilliant. will say tho– as a huge fan — i’ve struggled w/ season 3. found it just “off” from the compelling art of 1-2. the s2 finale was true masterpiece, so s3 has been hard to take. not enough plot. too much artistic editing. its what sets it apart. but been overkill. just “off” — shocked me. it could do no wrong in my eyes.

Sad news indeed, I was surprised to hear this myself. With a show of this caliber, it’s not unlikely that Netflix, Showtime, or HBO might all try to throw their hat in the ring to pick it up for season 4 and onward.

However, and as blasphemous as this may sound, perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise for the show to be cancelled now? That is to say that the show goes out on such a high note. Manhunter is my most favorite film of all time, and to me, Francis Dolarhyde (part of the story of season 3), is the absolute peak of fascinating characters in the story’s entire universe. But perhaps his story hasn’t been completed in season 3 and requires more time?

I’m with you in your feeling that whatever happens, I’m grateful to all the creatives and the network involved that made the show happen at all because Hannibal is something special that went way beyond most experiences you’re likely to find in TV or even film.

Hopefully, it will live on elsewhere. If not, it was definitely fun while it lasted. Looking forward to the rest of this season, that is for sure!
