We learned back in January that NBC would be airing Season 3 of Hannibal this Summer and that Richard Armitage, who had the starring role as Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit film trilogy, was joining the show for a 6-episode arc.

Now, after only three episodes of the new season, NBC has canceled producer Bryan Fuller‘s psychological drama, which is based Thomas Harris’ literary villain Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

NBC’s Hannibal is a serious, terrifying drama based on Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon novel featuring Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The last thing one would expect to do is to laugh at anything they see on this television series, but with Season 2 coming soon to DVD and Blu-ray, Lionsgate Home Entertainment has released a gag reel from that season.

Right now, Amazon is selling The Hannibal Lecter Collection Blu-ray box set for only $14.99 (that’s 63% off the list price of $39.99).

The Blu-ray box set contains all three films in the Hannibal Lecter series: Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal, the latter two of which starred Anthony Hopkins as the title serial killer.

The Blu-ray deal of the week over at Amazon this week is The Hannibal Lecter Collection Blu-ray box set for only $14.99 (that’s 63% off the list price of $39.99).

The Blu-ray box set contains all three films in the Hannibal Lecter series: Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal, the latter two of which starred Anthony Hopkins as the title serial killer.

Note, this deal is valid through Saturday, August 4, 2011 at 11:59pm EST while supplies last.

That didn’t take too long. Not at all.

THR is reporting that NBC has gone ahead and ordered a full season of the upcoming Bryan Fuller series, Hannibal, based on the characters from Thomas Harris’ iconic crime novel, Red Dragon.
