The gory and visually stunning crime drama, Hannibal, which has previously had a mid-season premiere, will not be joining our regularly scheduled programming until the summer. So sayith NBC network chairman Robert Greenblatt.

According to the numbers, Hannibal suffers pale ratings in the mid-season slot, hence the summer move.

What say you to the move, geeks? Me? I’ll take my Hannibal whenever I can get it.
