"Hannibal" season 4 may finally push through despite being canceled by NBC, as Bryan Fuller himself has revealed some new details about what could happen next season.
"Hannibal" has consistently gotten good to great reviews from critics, but it seems that the future of the show will no longer be on NBC as they've decided to cancel it on their network. However, Fuller believes that "Hannibal" season 4 would push through, and he and his team are doing whatever they can to save the show.
According to a report by Alan Sepinwall of HitFix, Fuller admitted that not only are there some groups who are interested in taking "Hannibal" season 4, but there is a good chance that the show will find it's home soon, and it's very likely that it's on Amazon.
However, Fuller stressed that international distribution deals are often dependent on an American broadcasting network, so this could mean that he could look into putting the show on a broadcasting network for it to be picked up by foreign distributors.
Meanwhile, fans hoping for the season 4 of "Hannibal" to land on NetFlix, may need to dampen their hopes as Fuller admitted it is very unlikely that the show would appear there.
In an interview with Matt Zoller Seitz of Vulture, Fuller noted that while the season 4 of "Hannibal" could land on Amazon Streaming, it is unlikely to be on NetFlix because of the show's contractual obligations with Amazon. The company has the rights to stream "Hannibal" on their streaming service, and it would lead to legal conflicts if NetFlix also has the rights to do so.
"I know Netflix has been incredibly complimentary to the show, but that's the one place I'm almost certain that it can't go," said Fuller in the interview.
But it seems that he is very confident that "Hannibal" season 4 would push through that he gave a couple of details about what may happen next.
"Season four would be a reexamination and reinterpretation of the Will Graham-Hannibal Lecter relationship in a fashion that is unlike anything else we've done in the show. So it is, in many ways, a whole reinvention of the show, in an exciting way. And if it weren't for the appeal of that, I would be very fine with saying, 'Season three, really strange season, something to be very proud of,' and just letting it go at that," Fuller revealed.
The first episode of "Hannibal" season 3 aired on June 4 and the final episode is expected to air on August 27.
