Earlier this month, we reportedthatSeason 3ofHannibalwill debut on NBC June 4.NBC revealed back in January thatthey were pushing the show to debut in the summer, instead of the spring like the first seasons, but it seems the extended wait will be well worth it. Series creatorBryan Fullertook to hisTwitteraccount earlier this week to share a number of intriguing details about this upcoming season, along with the directors for four of the 13 episodes.
Bryan Fullermade all of these revelations after asking the fans on his Twitter page to vote for his earlier seriesPushing Daisiesin an online poll of which beloved but short-lived shows should come back. AfterPushing Daisiesbeat outFireflyin the final round,Bryan Fullerstarted releasingHannibaltidbits, first revealing that theSeason 3premiere,“Antipasto”, “will take place over four different periods of time.” Unfortunately, he would not elaborate on what time periods fans will see, or if these time jumps will take place throughout the season, or just in the premiere.
The series creator also revealed that directorVincenzo Natali(Splice) is directing the first three episodes ofSeason 3,“Antipasto”,“Primavera"and"Secondo”. The filmmaker previously directed theSeason 2episode"Naka-Choko".Bryan Fulleralso shared thatNeil Marshall(The Descent) is directing the eighth episode entitled"The Great Red Dragon", an episode he claims to be “the best horror movie of the century.” This isNeil Marshall’s first time working onHannibal, but he has directed two of the most ambitious episodes of HBO’sGame of Thrones,“Blackwater"and"The Watchers on the Wall”.
