The recently disappointing news of 'Hannibal' getting discontinued on NBC hasn't seemed to deter showrunner Bryan Fuller from planning just how he'll end this season, as well as how he hopefully plans to continue with Season 4.

In a recent interview with IGN, Fuller speaks on the current season and what fans can expect in the episodes to follow.

In this interview, Fuller speaks on the series as it has led up to the third episode. He starts by addressing the return and introduction of some characters:

"Episode four is a big fill in the blank episode. It essentially takes place after the finale of Season 2 and leads up into the first episode of Season 3 and re-contextualizes everything we've seen in the first three episodes with an understanding of why. What's fun for us as storytellers is that those first three episodes, you're jumping on the train, the story is mid-transit and you see why the characters are doing what they're doing in the context of the story, but you don't see what happened to them before the story started. That's where episode four comes in and what I enjoy about it is that there are certain things that happen in that episode where you're like "Oh, that's where Will's head was" or "that's where Jack's head was." I think it's allowing the world to get bigger and clearer as opposed to continuing to be muddy and bound by grief and feelings and philosophies. Three and four really starts to focus on the story of the first chapter and sets up the next three episodes into the conclusion of that chapter. What's exciting about four is that's when we see what has happened to Alana and how she's navigated that night. One of the things sitting down with the writers, the very first day of meeting for Season 3, was an edict that we must make Alana one of the most interesting characters on the show. Because in Season 2 she was essentially girlfriend fodder and the triangulations between Will and Hannibal and she wasn't driving her own story and her own purpose. I felt a duty to the actress and the character to rectify that in the third season."

'Hannibal' is currently in search for a possible streaming network that they can continue their fourth season on. So far Netflix or Amazon looks to be their best option, however nothing has been confirmed.
