NBC Is So F**king Done With “Hannibal”
“Hannibal” is about to endure a long, slow, painful death…
While NBC “gifted” us super fans with a third season of “Hannibal,” they’ve quickly turned on it as if it were the black sheep (stag?) of the family.
Back on June 22nd NBC cancelled “Hannibal,” leaving the fate of the series to online streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. They both passed.
NBC then released stars Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen from their contracts, only further complicating an attempt at a revival.
Now, on heels of Comic-Con news that a feature could be cooked up, NBC is swatting the series away like an annoying gnat.
The network today kneecapped its Thursday duo of recently cancelled “Hannibal” and the just-renewed “Aquarius” and put them on Saturday night owing to poor ratings, says Deadline.
While ratings for “Hannibal” were never going to return, announcing its cancellation early in the season didn’t help those casually viewing from sticking around.
“Hannibal” is a masterpiece of television, and it doesn’t deserve to go out like this.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
