Hannibal: Mads Mikkelsen Believes Series Could Return in a Few Years
by Regina Avalos, May 3, 2016

"Hannibal ended its run on NBC at the end of its third season. The cancellation of the series caused a lot of fan upset, and the fans have been fighting to bring the series.

It is possible that the series could return ‘in a few years.’ This comes from the star of the series, Mads Mikkelsen. In an interview with Express, he said the following:

'It all depends on Bryan. He is the key, the base, the heart. We will wait and see what happens next in his career. But we all know that we can easily pick this up in two or three years, there are breaks in the stories. We could pick it up, say, four years later. If Bryan is up for it, we will all go for it.'"

Hannibal: Executive Producer Blames Piracy for NBC Series Cancellation
by Jessica Pena, March 18, 2016

Did illegal downloads lead to Hannibal‘s cancellation? In an article for The Hill, the series’ executive producer Martha de Laurentiis says pirating contributed to the end of the NBC serial killer drama.

NBC cancelled Hannibal in 2015 after three seasons.

De Laurentiis, who is speaking on Capitol Hill this week about the negative effects of piracy, wrote that illegal downloading affected the production budget of Hannibal:

When nearly one-third of the audience for “Hannibal” is coming from pirated sites — despite the fact that a legitimate download for each episode was available the following day — you don’t have to know calculus to do the math. If a show is stolen, it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to fairly compensate a crew and keep a series in production.”

In 2013, Hannibal was the “fifth-most illegally downloaded show,” according to de Laurentiis. In the article, she added that while it is uncertain if piracy directly led to the series’ cancellation, illegal downloading is at least “partly responsible”.

I watched the entire three seasons. There was a lot of weird stuff on that series.

I agree. I can't believe it lasted 3 seasons.
