Hannibal Season 3 Cast Adds Rutina Wesley To Gillian Anderson Richard Armitage, And Raul Esparaza, Plus Brian Fuller On Next Season, Release Date, Synopsis, New Trailer, And Spoilers [VIDEO]

Hannibal season 3 has a new trailer, and the air date has been pushed back to sometime this summer. You can watch the trailer below.

Aparently there will be a big time jump between the end of last season and the begining of this season. Season 3 will feature Hannibal on the run. New actors include Richard Armitage, who will play Francis Dolarhyde, aka The Tooth Fairy. It was just announced that True Blood's Rutina Wesley was added as a coworker to Francis Dolarhyde. Gillian Anderson will play Dr. Bedelia du Maurier. Joe Anderson will take over Michel Pitts role as Mason Verger, they are using plastic surgery as a plot defise to make that happen. Raul Esparaza will play Dr. Fredrick Chilton.

Producers have said it will partially deal wit the events of Red Dragon this season. Screenrant quotes Brian Fuller talking about last season, next season, and how and what parts of the books each bit comes from, "We are staying very true to in the incident in the novel with Will and Hannibal and it's very basic outcome... There's going to be an impact from what's happened here. It's safe to say that not everybody survives. Everyone that's laying there breathing could be breathing their last breaths. It doesn't go well for all of them.

"One of the wonders of this season is: Will Alana survive and will Jack Crawford survive? Will Abigail Hobbs survive? Those are things that are going to be revealed very slowly at the beginning of Season 3."

"The stag always represented the connection between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter. He started seeing the stag after he was first exposed to Hannibal's murder of Cassie Boyle impaled on the stag head in the field. It felt like, [when Will sees the stag dying], the relationship that they had has died. Whatever comes next between them will be a fresh new hell. ...  In any relationship, when you throw a fit and end a relationship in dramatic fashion, later you might be going, 'Oh, I do sort of miss them.' [Laughs] The obsession is going to always work both ways between these two gentlemen."

"Season 3 is going to be a lot of fun because it's going to be taking a lot of disparate elements from the novel Hannibal Rising and the novel Hannibal and mashing them up together as part of the thrust of the season. It's going to be fun to bastardize two novels into one sort of Frankenstein season. I will brace everybody right now: We're significantly changing the Hannibal origin story from Hannibal Rising.

"The books won't necessarily be in sequential order. We'll be hitting elements of each of them except Silence of the Lambs in the next season. My hope is that not only do we have a completely different Hannibal Lecter story in Season 3, but we will meet some of those great characters like Francis Dolarhyde and Lady Murasaki and weave them into the world in a unique way."

So, this is just a random bit of Hannibal trivia, but its a good last bit. Remember from the movies the line about eating his liver with farva beans and keante. Well, the anti psychotic Lecter would have been taking would make it impossible to eat either of those things, so what he was really doing in that line was saying that he hadn't been taking his medicine in a complex medical way. Cool right?
