Hannibal is a new television show that is getting to be more popular with the psychological thriller-horror crowd. The show just finished up on its second season and now the fans are waiting for the next season to start. In the meantime, loyal fans take to the internet to find out anything that they can about the show and what they might be able to expect when the new season starts. The show airs on NBC and is based on the characters and other details from the novel “Red Dragon”.
The first season was just 13 episodes and will see that number of episodes in all future seasons according to at least one online source. Most shows will get a lower number of episodes for the first season and see an increase and cap over the next couple of seasons, but that is not the case with Hannibal. There are plenty of good characters to follow in the show and that includes many of the recurring ones that fans have grown to love.
A couple of the names that you might recognize include Laurence Fishburne and Gillian Anderson, who play special agent and doctor, respectively. For the second season, the show brought back more than 10 recurring actors and actresses in order to keep the deep story lines together. In the news recently, Hannibal Season 3 spoilers have been posted online and there are many hints at what appears to be character changes.
One of the main characters that fans will notice is out of the picture for season 3 is Michael Pitt. He has decided to leave the popular drama and will be replaced by Joe Anderson, who recently starred in “The Divide”. Reasons for leaving the show were Pitt’s, according to one source. In season 2, he was convinced by Lecter to cut up and eat parts of his own face, so who know how long he might have lasted anyway. Gillian Anderson has been upgraded to a series regular returning as Dr. Bedelia du Maurier and the same goes for Raul Esparaza playing Dr. Frederick Chilton.
Hannibal Season 3 started filming in Italy during this month and that has fans taking photos of the sets, who is on them and seeing the actors with different amounts of blood on their faces. These details rarely are held back as fans take to social media to announce what they see as the firestorm of speculation starts. Hannibal Season 3 will follow the first two, known as one of the best series on television, according to critics.
