'"Hannibal" fans booed for a long time when NBC announced that its mildly spiced dish would be served on June 4, 2015. That would make the agonizing wait of season three since season two's finale more than a year.

However, that means there are heaps of spoilers floating online and some can even satiate a fan's appetite till Dr. Lecter and Will Graham return on screen. Apart from the release date, Digital Spy reports that the season is divided into two parts, one will feature seven episodes and the other will have six episodes. The first half of season three will deal with the aftermath of season two's finale and also chronicle Hannibal's adventure with Bedelia in Florence, Italy. The setting of the show changes to Italy and it is widely speculated that Graham will caichardtch Hannibal in episode seven, thanks to the assistance of Dr. Chilton who will prove to be instrumental in catching him.

The second half will see Lecter behind bars, but Graham will need the troubled and gruesome doctor's help when the Tooth Fairy emerges in episode eight. Played by actor Richard Armitage, Francis Dolarhyde earns his eerie name the Tooth fairy because he bites his victims. Furthermore, "True Blood" actress Rutina Wesley will essay the role of his blind love interest.

Episode eight will also have a time-jump into several years and follows the plot of Harris' "Red Dragon". Moreover, Graham will also learn of Lecter's childhood through his aunt, Lady Murasaki's handmaiden Chiyoh. Instead of showing the Lady, the show will tell her tale and Lecter's through Chiyoh's conversations with Graham.

Another Digital Spy report suggests that Guillermo del Toro will not be directing season three. Moreover, Joe Anderson will replace Michael Pitt as the psychotic Mason Verger. The mid-season time-jump will also see Graham married to a woman named Molly who helps him overcome his dark past. Additionally, it is unclear which characters survived the bloodbath of season two. Mark June 4 for a scrumptious meal with "Hannibal" and watch Graham catch Lecter.
