‘Hannibal’ Season 3 Spoilers & News: New Locations and Old Flames Will Play a Big Role in the First Episodes
The TV adaptation of "Hannibal" has led us to some very queasy moments, but we simply could not take our eyes of the screen.
In the Season 2 finale, we are left to wonder the fate of three major characters, one of which includes Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). All three were fileted at the hands of Hannibal (Mads Mikkelson), who is now presumably on the run given that his secret has been identified by more than one high-profile person.
But the long production schedule and heavy lifting for Season 3 has caused it to delay its release until June, which differs from its normal winter/spring debuts.
But according to Digital Spy, the wait is going to be well worth it.
When the publication got a chance to do a phone interview with showrunner Bryan Fuller, he had no reservations sharing what the season is going to be about.
In the season premiere, titled "Antipasto," we do not even get to see a glimpse of Will Graham. Although we're biting our nails to see who survived Hannibal's last attack, we get sucked into Hannibal's other love affair, particularly with his own psychotherapist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson).
"It really does feel like 'What are we watching?' Will Graham isn't in it, none of the other familiar characters are in it, it's just Hannibal and Bedelia and their history over three different periods of time," Fuller told Digital Spy.
Fuller also confirmed that the action will be taking a leading role in this season.
"I love Ridley Scott's 'Hannibal.' I just think it's such a fun, gruesome movie that kind of harkens back to Hammer films, and it's Hannibal as James Bond," Fuller said. "There's qualities of that that we wanted to bring to the first chapter of the third season, which is the Italy-based material."
He clued us in on how the season is going to change as well, implementing the character of Francis Dolarhyde, which will be played by Richard Armitage.
"Episodes eight through thirteen will all be named after William Blake's series of Great Red Dragon Paintings, depicting scenes from the biblical 'Book of Revelation.' Clued-up Fannibals will know that in the Harris canon, serial killer Francis Dolarhyde is obsessed with this series of paintings, which give his murderous alternate personality its name," Digital Spy reports.
