After the recent bombing in Boston, NBC decided to pull its recent episode of 'Hannibal', which is about a serial killer. They are doing this out of sensitivity to the recent event; the episode was to show a character who brainwashed children to kill other children. Their executive producer made this decision after taking into account the Newton shooting as well as the Boston bombing. He began discussing his decision with others a couple of weeks ago, but the event on Monday reinforced his decision to take the new episode off the air. Though the story 'Hannibal' is irrelevant and unrelated to the bombings, the executive producer is taking precautions in order to demonstrate sensitivity to the nation as a whole. Instead of this episode, producers decided to air another episode in its place to pacify its viewers. The viewers will not see a problem with plot continuity, and clips from behind the scenes of the unaired episode will be available online with commentary for viewers to see. ABC has also delayed airing a new episode of 'Castle'.
