The "Hannibal" season 3 premiere is not yet here but the show is already done with productions. When the finale comes, expect the unexpected as according to series creator Bryan Fuller, it could be as big as second season's.
Last year's finale totally blew the minds of the audiences. There is the epic fight between Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), Abigail Hobbs resurfacing, Alana Bloom falling off the second floor, and the cannibal doctor stabbing his nemesis Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) to death.
According to Fuller, the third season's finale will have scenes that are of the same gravity and last season's ending.
"We have another 'drop the mic' moment at the end of this season," Fuller said in an interview with Den of Geek ahead of the "Hannibal" season 3 premiere on June 4.
"Once again, we approach this show always working under the assumption that every season is our last season. We have an ending to this season that is shocking and striking and sad and earned, and we also have a way to un-paint ourselves out of that corner should there be a fourth season."
"Hannibal" season 3 premiere is on June 4 and will tackle the past of Lecter. As the season progresses, the main characters will come in and there are storylines that will be planted and will be harvested by the end of season.
"Yes, there are a few seeds that crop up in season three," Fuller said.
"The beauty of season two is that we laid so many of the stones down, that we were able to take a clear path. A lot of seeds that were laid down in season two-the Mason Verger story, where Will Graham and Hannibal's relationship was left-we get to mine those in an exciting way in the third season, particularly in the first half, which is our Italian half of the season. Gillian Anderson's character, Bedelia Du Maurier, has a very significant role in that arc. There's lots in season two that sets up that first chunk, then when we get into the latter half of the season, which is the Red Dragon story, there are still repercussions from the past joining through that second arc."
