"Hannibal" season 3 premiere may have been moved to a later date, but don't fret because here is now the much awaited trailer. On the night of Jan. 22, the NBC horror series released the first footage of the show's third season run and it includes cat and mouse chase, body bag, cemetery and dinners (with a twist?). If you're not from the United States, there is a high chance you might not be able to watch the clip provided by NBC. So, here's the region free version from Spoiler TV.
As you can notice from the recently-released "Hannibal" season 3 trailer, the cast appear to be in a different territory. That is because the storyline has moved to Europe, Italy in particular, as Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) flew to another continent not only to escape the US authorities but also to hunt a new victim.
"Hannibal" season 3 premiere episode will see him with Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) posing as couple.
Earlier reports confirmed the third season will dive into the world of "Red Dragon" and "Hannibal," two of the Thomas Harris novels where the show's characters were based from. This automatically means adding more characters. You may have not seen this new guys on the "Hannibal" season 3 trailer, or when the new season premieres, but they are vital in the series' storyline.
In an interview with Metro, series creator Bryan Fuller said that they will extensively explore the past of the cannibalistic, sophisticated psychiatrist.
"We are absolutely delving into his history' said Fuller, "not as many flashbacks as much as it is finding present day survivors from that era of his life and understanding, with greater detail, about Hannibal and his modes of human interaction."
One of the new characters is Tao Akamoto who will play Chiyoh, the handmaid to Hannibal's aunt Lady Murasaki. Also coming in "Hannibal" season 3 are Nina Arianda as Will's wife Molly, Richard Armitage as Francis Dolarhyde, and Fortunato Cerlino as the Italian Chief Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi.
