In addition to Dancy, the cast for season three includes Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Glenn Fleshler as Cordell Doemling, Gillian Anderson as Dr. Bedelia du Maurier, Joe Anderson in place of Michael Pitt as Mason Verger, Tara Mae Thornton in the recurring role of Reba McClane, Richard Armitage as Francis Dolarhyde, aka The Tooth Fairy serial killer, and Nina Arianda as Mary Graham, Will's wife.

Vincenzo Natali directed the first three episodes of Hannibal Season 3, respectively titled "Antipasto", "Primavera", and "Secondo."
