Fans will say goodbye to Hannibal after almost one year of streaming on Netflix. The popular horror-drama series is set to end its run in America and Canada in June 2021.
Even though Hannibal was cancelled in 2015, it has remained popular with fans who continue to campaign for its revival. Fans were excited to see the revival when Hannibal was relaunched on Netflix in June 2020. However, they mostly wanted to watch all three seasons again.
Hannibal proved to be one of the most popular licensed shows on Netflix when it arrived in June 2020, which saw a ginormous surge in Hannibal’s popularity and demand from fans to see Netflix continue the series as an Original.
The Netflix streaming service will remove all three Hannibal seasons on June 5, 2021. At the moment, you only have a month left to watch the terrifying drama again.
Netflix added Hannibal almost one year ago (June 5, 2020) when it first launched the show. This means that Netflix has only a 12-month streaming license for Hannibal.
Peacock could be a logical home given that Hannibal was an NBC show but given the right are distributed by Sony, it’ll like come down to the highest bidder.
It’s unclear whether Amazon and Hulu will be retaining the rights to the series.
At the moment, it is not clear where Hannibal will stream next.

The scheduled leave date doesn’t mean that Hannibal will be leaving indefinitely.
Netflix has a very fruitful relationship with Sony, so we won’t be surprised to see Hannibal re-licensed in the near future.
It is unlikely that Netflix will ever pick Hannibal up, despite numerous attempts. Netflix has previously shown interest in reviving the show but due to Hannibal’s exclusive distribution contract with Amazon has made it highly improbable we’ll ever see a revival.
Hannibal can always be reincarnated in some capacity. This is supported by the entire cast who has made it clear on multiple occasions they are happy to do so.
