“Hannibal” Has Been Cancelled. Excuse Me While I Weep.
I’ve been getting shit from readers over reporting that this season of “Hannibal” would be its last.
The truth of the matter is that NBC has been continuing on with the series “for the fans,” so this news isn’t all that surprising. No matter, I’m weeping the loss of the best horror show on television.
Deadline reports this afternoon that NBC made it official, opting not to pick up a fourth season of “Hannibal”.
Here are statements from creator Bryan Fuller and NBC:
“NBC has allowed us to craft a television series that no other broadcast network would have dared,” said creator Bryan Fuller, “and kept us on the air for three seasons despite Cancellation Bear Chow ratings and images that would have shredded the eyeballs of lesser Standards & Practices enforcers.
“‘Hannibal’ is finishing his last course at NBC’s table this summer,” he continued, “but a hungry cannibal can always dine again.”
“We have been tremendously proud of ‘Hannibal’ over its three seasons,” added NBC. “Bryan and his team of writers and producers, as well as our incredible actors, have brought a visual palette of storytelling that has been second to none in all of television — broadcast or cable. We thank Gaumont and everyone involved in the show for their tireless efforts that have made ‘Hannibal’ an incredible experience for audiences around the world.”
We all here at Bloody Disgusting thank NBC for taking a chance on such a dark and violent show, and for allowing it to have the finale it deserves. We won’t be mourning the loss, but celebrating the life that continues in this third and final season.
This has been some serious fine dining.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
