‘Hannibal’ season 3 spoilers: First look at story for Hugh Dancy, cast in ‘Primavera’

While we know that “Hannibal” is going to be returning to NBC with new episodes starting on Thursday, June 4, there are many things that still remain a mystery about that first episode back … including whether or not Hugh Dancy is actually in the episode.

While we cannot answer that with 100% certainty at this very moment, we can at least inform you at the moment that the second episode airing on June 11, entitled “Primavera,” should give you more of a window into just what Will Graham is up to. The synopsis below also gives you a direct sense of just how much time has past since season 2, and also whether or not his arrival to Italy ends up causing a series of events that could lead to Hannibal Lecter’s capture:

“With his wounds now healed, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) heads to Europe eight months after the horrific event that almost took his life, in search of closure with Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Following a hunch, Will arrives in Palermo, Italy to find a disturbing gift. Will’s arrival draws suspicion from Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi (guest star Fortunato Cerlino), who twenty years earlier pursued a Florentine killer known as “Il Mostro” and, after reading Will’s file, believes that Hannibal Lecter and “Il Mostro” are one and the same. Pazzi tries to enlist Will’s help in catching Hannibal, but Will warns that he is unsure of where his own allegiance lies.”

What we know from the premiere is that Hannibal has traveled across the ocean with Bedelia, and the major problem he has is that while he may be running from the police, he is not the sort of man to ever truly hide.
