'Hannibal' premiered to over four million viewers in April 2013. The subsequent episodes have dropped in both viewership and ratings. The most recent episodes have only garnered two and a half million viewers which is not good for a series on a major network.
NBC cancelled a record 14 series this past month. 'Hannibal' looked to be the 15th but with strong criticical acclaim and a loyal fanbase, NBC has decided to have another 13 episodes produced for the 2014 season. If paired with the right shows, it could potentially grow in its second season. I could see NBC having a dark drama night on Fridays with 'Grimm, 'Hannibal' and 'Dracula.'
Here is a list of the last five aired episodes:
05 - Coquilles - April 25 - 2.40 million viewers
06 - Entree - May 2 - 2.61 million viewers
07 - Sorbet - May 9 - 2.62 million viewers
08 - Fromage - May 16 - 2.46 million viewers
09 - Trou Normand - May 23 - 2.69 million viewers
The season finale 'Savoureux' will air on June 20, 2013.
