"Hannibal" TV Series is based on the character of Dr. Hannibal Lecter who is a cannibalistic brilliant serial killer. Hannibal's character was adopted from the novels of Thomas Harris which includes the "Red Dragon", "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal".
In related news, The Christian Post reported that cast member Gillian Anderson, who portrays Hannibal's Psychiatrist, Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier has said that "Hannibal is too dark for me!" She even added that "If I'm going to watch some of my scenes, I need to have my finger on the fast-forward [button]. I literally am not that person." This might lead fans to believe that the upcoming season will have a darker theme considering that Dr. Bedelia and Hannibal have left the United States in the last season's finale and, presumably, made their run in Europe.
However even if Anderson felt that Hannibal is too dark for her to watch, she is still excited to play the role of Hannibal's psychiatrist. She said that "What I am interested in there is I know the genius of [showrunner] Bryan Fuller and how extraordinary it is, what they're creating in an artistic vein." she then added that she can't say no to the part since she'll get to work with great actors in the TV series.
"Hannibal" Season 3 will air its premiere episode in early summer this year. Fans can expect a darker experience this Season. Stay tuned for more updates on its premiere episode!
