Variety also specifically reports, “Producers Gaumont Intl. Television and Martha De Laurentiis of the De Laurentiis Co. are actively shopping the show to new buyers, ranging from digital outlets to cable channels.” And if you personally want to #SaveHannibal, there’s also a Change.org petition for that.
