but you aren't getting it...

FX wouldn't pick it up if it got canceled because THEY didn't develop the property AT ALL...

I don't see FX or any other network taking Hannibal on if it was canceled.

what made southland different was that John Wells had a prodution deal with Warner Bros TV, who does shows with TNT and NBC if i'm not mistaken.

Wells was able to shop Southland to Warner Bros because of his deal and the fact that TNT wanted to keep doing business with him.

Bryan Fuller doesn't have such a deal with FX or 20th Century Fox for that matter...

NBC has paid Fuller VERY WELL to create content for the network. NBCV would keep him before letting him go somehwere else...

is FX really next level? because AMC, HBO, Showtime, and every other cable channel with an edgy, gritty and dark as show would say they're next level also...
