"We're so proud of Bryan's vision for a show that is richly textured, psychologically complex, and very compelling," NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said. "There are many great stories still to be told."

Hannibal, which stars Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen, has been averaging 4.7 million viewers and a 2.0 rating in the 18-to-49 demographic. The Season 1 finale will air in late June.
