The drama will end after Season 3.
June 22, 2015
NBC announced today that Hannibal is being canceled after three seasons. The move doesn't come as a complete surprise after Season 3 premiered at series-low ratings earlier this month, only to fall further in the two episodes following.
The network issued a press release with the following statement: “We have been tremendously proud of ‘Hannibal’ over its three seasons. 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.”
It appears as if the network will continue to air Season 3 through its full episode order, which still leaves 10 episodes remaining for fans to enjoy during the summer months.

I think they pressed on the cancelled button too soon. Yes the first 2 episodes were sllllooooowwwwwww. But it's getting better. Maybe there's a glimmer of hope. I'm still suprised that after they cancelled Hannibal they chose to renew Aquarius... I've watched it but I just can't get into it... it just feels blah.

They basically cancelled this show because ratings were on each episode.

Really hoping Netflix revives this one. One of most unique shows on TV.

this is sad news. This is a show for adults only imo, but it is so unusual. Of course we won't get a ending for the series now. rip Hannibal.

I hope they change their minds, and renew Hannibal. It's a well-made show, and really gripping and entertaining. I bet the ratings went down due to changes in the way people are watching tv! They record several episodes of a show, and watch them all at once (AKA: Binge Watching). I can totally understand why some people would absolutely hate this show, but than can probably be said about any tv show. #SaveHannibal

Cam, I'm with Miss Stephanie. You can call me a guttersnipe trollop any day of the week! It shows me you READ and have gosh dang brain.
I understand people who don't like Hannibal. Some of them are stuck on Silence of the Lambs and the whole Hopkins deal. I read Red Dragon when it first came out. I was working in a Fotomat booth. You had to do SOMETHING to occupy your mind in those days.
Red Dragon freaked me out. Dr. Lecter in that book is much more "Mads" than "Anthony."
In the end, it's all "one's personal taste." So to speak!
Going to miss you, Hannibal. Surprised such imagery made it onto broadcast television!
I agree with someone below, that it probably won't be tied off neatly, since I think all these episodes were in the can and ready to go.
I certainly don't see how the numbers on Hannibal could be any worse than those for Aquarius!
Well, at least I learned how to cook long pig in many different ways!

There was no press or teasers on Season 3 at all. I didn't even know it was on until Hulu started picking it up for me (I had it as a "favorite").
It boggles my mind that these execs give up so fast on shows. Yes, three seasons. But to pull the plug 3 shows in? Increase the marketing...move it to a new slot, etc. Most of their costs are sunk costs anyways. So make improvements and keep going. No marketing or biz student should EVER use our broadcast stations as an example of what works.
Boooo!

Gawd dang it! Yes the first two episodes were slow but the third was starting to get good again. It was just getting to really show how he truly is eating the people he knows. The last two seasons only eluded to that fact. The ice pick to the head. And the man sat there saying he couldn't see, And was sort of laughing about it. Was brilliant writing for a Television horror story.. Bad mistake again NBC.
