During the Hannibal: Savor the Hunt panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Fuller revealed that Hannibal could continue as a feature film. “The idea for Season 4 that we were intending to do could go into a film very easily,” teased Fuller, though he declined to give specific plot details. He additionally verified that stars Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen would remain part of the show, even if it becomes a movie.
Or, as Hannibal producer DeLaurentiis Company put it:
We are still looking. Possibility of a feature film. Hugh and Mads committed to show. #Pannibal2015

However, there are still some hurdles to clear if Hannibal is to return as a film, including rights issues. We’ll keep you posted as more details on the potential Hannibal feature film emerge. Original story from July 7, 2015 follows below.
NBC canceled Hannibal barely two weeks ago, and as is so often the case with shows that have a devoted fanbase, talk immediately began of a streaming service saving the series after its third season ends on NBC. The #saveHannibal hashtag gave rise to hopes of seeing Hannibal on Netflix or a similar service.
Fuller tweeted,
@MikeBarbre I’M SORRY TO REPORT @amazon AND @netflix HAVE PASSED ON #HANNIBAL S4 BUT WE’RE STILL INVESTIGATING POSSIBILITIES
