"Hannibal" season 3 premiere episode will not arrive until June 4. That means around two months of withdrawal for fans. This means Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the title role, and Hugh Dancy who plays Will Graham, won't be seen television until first week of the six month of year.
For fans wanting to see them together with other cast members, attending the ATX festival might be a good idea to offset the pain of waiting for the "Hannibal" season 3 premiere. Series creator Bryan Fuller and the still unannounced lineup of cast members will at the festival together with other shows like "Dawsons Creek", "Suits", "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and more. The thing is, the festival will kick off on the same day as the NBC TV series will air its pilot episode.
Variety reported:
"Panels for NBC's "Hannibal" with creator Bryan Fuller and Fox's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" with creator Dan Goor and cast members have been added to the festival, along with a "cancelled too soon" panel for Amy Sherman Palladino's former ABC Family series "Bunheads.""
ATX Festival is the place to be to mend those broken hearts who wait long enough for the "Hannibal" season 3 premiere. At least, before watching the pilot episode of the show's third run, fans will get the chance to see Mikkelsen, Dancy, and more celebrities face to face.
"Hannibal" season 3 premiere episode will start with Dr. Lecter and Dr. Bedelia du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) wandering in Europe looking for a new prey. After at least four episodes, the show will have a time jump that will see Will Graham get married. This storyline is part of the "Red Dragon" novel by Thomas Harris. This particular angle is something creator Bryan Fuller bared shortly after the conclusion of the second season. Several new cast members are also set to appear, especially those from the books. Among them are Fortunato Cerlino as Rinaldo Pazzi, Rutina Wesley as Reba McClane, Nina Arianda as Molly Graham, Will's wife, and Glenn Fleshler as Dr. Cordell Doeming, the creepy intelligent nurse of Mason Verger. The second half's big bad will be Richard Armitage's Francis Dolarhyde, a serial killer who has great admiration of Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
