NBC's new serial killer drama Hannibal is in a rare position, the network headed into Upfronts without making a decision on a renewal. As we've been reporting, this is the week that the major television networks preview their upcoming 2013-2014 lineup for advertisers and the press. So the bulk of the programming lineup, cancellation and renewal decisions have been made.

Often, cancelled shows are shopped around to other channels or networks - as is the case with ABC's Happy Endings and Body of Proof . Hannibal premiered with decent ratings and it looked as though NBC would likely renew, but the ratings have since dipped putting it on the bubble for cancellation. For a variety of reasons, including its international co-financing, the network has not yet pulled the plug on the Bryan Fuller created series. They haven't picked it up for a second season either, though. Deadline is now reporting that there may be some outside interest in the show if NBC doesn't renew it; including at least one cable network and Amazon, who currently streams the show after it airs. Amazon is, of course, making a big push into original programming. The series isn't officially being shopped, but fans may be pleased to learn that it looks as if there is hope for Hannibal yet - even if it's not on NBC. We will keep you updated as details emerge.
