While the highly anticipated next season of NBC's "Hannibal" will not be seen until next year, spoilers have already been creating buzz online. The last season finale showed a bloody massacre leaving viewers wondering who will survive.
New set of spoilers have been doing the rounds again. According to Enstars, Mads Mikkelsen's cannibal may feast "more than one way." Series creator, Bryan Fuller, is reportedly planning to use Hannibal's mind palace, making sure the show remains faithful to its tradition of incorporating culinary aspects.
"Well, we have the mind palace and we talked a lot about once he is incarcerated, how do we keep the aesthetic of the show?" said Fuller.
"So we just don't see Mads Mikkelsen in 'tighty whitey's' in a prison cell. And a big part of that is going to be the mind palace, of course, and probably utilizing a flashback structure so we can keep having that present. And also to see how his culinary expertise has infected other characters on the show as a result of their exposure to him," Fuller continued.
All episodes of "Hannibal" for the last two seasons were named after different dishes and meals. The first season's episodes were named after French cuisine while the second season used Japanese culinary terms. The upcoming season's episode titles are reportedly drawing inspiration from Italy.
In previous news, it was reported that the upcoming series will feature a major time jump. In the Comic-Con in San Diego, it was also revealed that after Hannibal attacked Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), he was also able to cut the throats of Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) while Dr. Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) was pushed out of a window.
According to Fuller, the one-year time jump will make it harder for viewers to recognize who among the characters have died or survived.
Meanwhile, Dr. Frederick Chilton (Raul Esparza), Dr. Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard), and Dr Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) are expected to appear in the show's upcoming season.
"Hannibal's" third season is scheduled to release on 2015.
