"My wife and I would love to have you for dinner." A new promo video for Hannibal Season 3 has been released, teasing the unique relationship between Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson).
The season three premiere of Hannibal, "Antipasto" premieres on Thursday, June 4th, at 10:00pm EST. In addition to Mikkelsen and Anderson, the cast for season three includes Hugh Dancy as Will Graham, Glenn Fleshler as Cordell Doemling, 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, with Zachary Quinto guest starring in at least one episode as one of Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier's patients.
Vincenzo Natali directed the first three episodes of Hannibal Season 3, respectively titled "Antipasto", "Primavera", and "Secondo." Neil Marshall helmed "The Great Red Dragon", the eighth episode of season three. Natali is no stranger to Hannibal, having directed "Naka-Choko" and "Su-zakana" in season two. Marshall, who has directed two episodes of Game of Thrones and the first two episodes of NBC's Constantine, makes his Hannibal debut with "The Great Red Dragon."
Fuller previously revealed that the Hannibal Season 3 premiere "takes place over four different periods of time", which explains the expected time jump of the new season and the changes to Graham's life that have been hinted at so far.
