Hannibal on Sony Entertainment Television pulled in America because of its 'extensive graphic nature'.


The new macabre TV drama Hannibal seen on Sony Entertainment Television (DStv 127) in South Africa has been pulled in America due to its "extensive graphic nature".

The American TV station KSL TV which is part of the NBC TV network which shows the new crime drama, has decided to no longer show Hannibal at 21:00.

In a statement KSL TV says "this decision was made due to the extensive graphic nature of this show". The TV station is showing news instead.

Hannibal has been struggling to find viewership and NBC which just announced which shows are cancelled, which are renewed and which are brand-new for the upcoming new TV season, is still undecided about the fate of Hannibal which follows the exploits of the cannibal Hannibal Lecter before the events of the Hannibal movies.
