NBC Cancels 'Hannibal' – Amazon Passes On Saving The Show

"Hannibal" will find no savior in Amazon. Executive producer Bryan Fuller announced on Twitter that the streaming service had passed on picking up the cancelled NBC drama.

"I'm sorry to report @Amazon and @Netflix have passed on #Hannibal S4 but we're still investigating possibilities," Fuller tweeted on Monday.

NBC is currently airing the third and possibly final season with the finale set to air in August.

Fuller has started work on his next project, a series adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel "American Gods" for Starz. His commitment to the new show would delay a fourth season of "Hannibal" by a year, which reportedly influenced Amazon's decision to pass, according to Deadline.

"Hannibal" has a scheduled panel at the San Diego Comic Con on July 11. Fuller will take questions from fans in Ballroom 20 along with executive producer Martha De Laurentiis and co-stars Hugh Dancy and Richard Armitage

The crime drama joins "A.D. The Bible Continues" and "Allegiance" as recent shows cancelled by NBC. "A.D." also has a chance of finding a new home on another network or digital platform.
