    Bryan Fuller's "Hannibal" Could Find A New Home...

    Deadline Hollywood reports that while NBC waits to renew  "Hannibal", it could be finding a new home....

    The series, fromPushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, got off to a solid ratings start and was in serious contention for an early renewal. The numbers eventually tapered off, and NBC put the renewal decision on hold.Hannibal was well reviewed, and I hear there has been interest from at least one cable network in case NBC passes on a second season.

    Wonder who that would be? People have said FX would be fitting for "Hannibal" given their more adult-tuned programs such as "Sons of Anarchy", "Nip/Tuck", "The Americans", and the upcoming "The Bridge".

    Other than that I can't think of another suitor, although I've heard USA suggested by some.

    Deadline goes on... 

    Additionally, I hear Amazon, which currently carries repeats of the show, has expressed interest in taking it on. There are no talks going on and Hannibal has not been shopped as the producers are waiting on a renewal at NBC. Hannibal, from Gaumont International Television, is produced under a different model at a license fee that is a fraction of what dramas with similar production values cost.

    Well, this would put Amazon on the map. Their other series don't exactly look too good, in my opinion, and "Hannibal" could be their "House of Cards"....

    What do you think? Excited at the prospect "Hannibal" could live on?

    "Hannibal" airs Thursdays 10/9 central on NBC. Based on the Thomas Harris novel, "Red Dragon".

    "Hannibal" explores the early relationship between the renowned psychiatrist and his patient, a young FBI criminal profiler, who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.
