With all of you guys flat out f*cking raving about Season 2 of “Hannibal” I’m definitely primed to start a marathon binge watching session. I’m a little bit bummed that parts of the end of Season 2 got spoiled for me in this interview with creator Bryan Fuller on TV Guide, but I did it to myself. I figured I’d enjoy the BBQ more later if I got just a little bit of work done today.
Check out what he has to say about the upcoming third season. But… for those who haven’t seen Season 2… I’m warning you. SPOILERS below.
Per Fuller, Will Graham survives the Season 2 finale. “We are staying very true to in the incident in the novel with Will and Hannibal and it’s very basic outcome.” What about everyone else? “Everyone that’s laying their breathing could be breathing their last breaths. It doesn’t go well for all of them.”
They’re getting their hands dirty with the Hannibal origin story. “Season 3 is going to be a lot of fun because it’s going to be taking a lot of disparate elements from the novel Hannibal Rising and the novel “Hannibal” and mashing them up together as part of the thrust of the season. It’s going to be fun to bastardize two novels into one sort of Frankenstein season. I will brace everybody right now: We’re significantly changing the Hannibal origin story from Hannibal Rising.”
Yet more familiar characters will pop up. “The books won’t necessarily be in sequential order. We’ll be hitting elements of each of them except Silence of the Lambs in the next season. My hope is that not only do we have a completely different Hannibal Lecter story in Season 3, but we will meet some of those great characters like Francis Dolarhyde and Lady Murasaki and weave them into the world in a unique way.”
There you have it. Be sure to check out the rest of the interview at the link below.
