Though Netflix and Amazon passed on resurrecting the recently-canned NBC series “Hannibal”, Show runner Bryan Fuller suggested there’s other avenues he’s still yet to explore.
“We are still looking [for a new home],” Fuller said at today’s Comic Con panel for the show. “We don’t have a lot of answers and we’re looking at the possibility of a feature.”
Should it go ahead as a film, the “Hannibal” follow-up would “continue with the show so the way this season ends, there may be an opportunity for a little break and then hopefully we’ll find a way to bring Mads [Mikkelsen] and Hugh [Dancy] back to you”, said Fuller.
As for why Amazon and Netflix passed on the show, Fuller was happy to divulge what went on there.
“Netflix couldn’t do it because of the Amazon streaming,” the creator said, explaining that Amazon owes the rights to the first three seasons of the show. “Amazon would liked to have done it but they wanted to do it very quickly and I wanted to be able to get all the scripts in advance before we starting shooting…the schedule with their desire to put it on immediately was just impossible for us.”
