The fans of "Hannibal" have no choice but to wait longer when the new season was moved to summer this year. However, there's still no exact release date for "Hannibal" season 3 and the restlessness of the fans has become apparent.
The good news is that fans will not have to wait as long to know when the third season will air. Two recent tweets gave fans assurance that the air date is just around the corner.
DeLaurentiis Company tweeted, "We dreamed all night long about the @NBCHannibal S3 premiere date #Hannibal #WeAreReady."
After the tweet, fans began to speculate that the "dream" means that "Hannibal" will air on a Tuesday. But the show's co-producer Loretta Ramos gave a more unsuspenseful answer.
"No word yet, but should be soon - hang in there!" tweeted Ramos.
Meanwhile, what can fans expect from the new villain in season 3? Dr. Fredrick Chilton will be undergoing a big change in the new season as he goes up against Hannibal Lecter. It was revealed that Dr. Chilton already knew about Hannibal's unnatural habit. But even if his theory was correct, he ended up getting shot and almost dying. This season, Dr. Chilton is vengeful and is already plotting his revenge against his enemy.
Actor Raul Esparza had a chat with HorrorHound Magazine and he shared something about the new Dr. Chilton.
"I think the more that happens to Chilton, the darker he gets. And certainly his sense of humor rises up because he thinks he's better than everybody. I feel like the season taught him a lesson. And he's coming back with revenge on his mind. But he's not a fighter," Esparza described.
He also made mention about Dr. Chilton finding another way to beat Hannibal. He won't get physical; rather, he'd go psychological. Hannibal is a very mental character and Dr. Chilton needs to penetrate that to win.
"Hannibal is smarter than him, and he's playing against a monster. And that in order to deal with a monster, you have to become one," Esparza said.
"Hannibal" season 3's release date will be announced soon. In the meantime, enjoy the trailer for the upcoming season.
