More casting news has come in for NBC’s “Hannibal” as Variety is reporting that “True Blood’s” Rutina Wesley has chosen an equally gory series for her rebound role, joining NBC’s “Hannibal” as a pivotal character from Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon novel in Season 3.
She’ll play Reba McClane, a blind woman who enters into a relationship with the psychotic Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) and helps soothe his murderous urges — at least at first. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) will come into contact with Dolarhyde (aka “The Tooth Fairy”) around the eighth episode of the third season.
Season 3 of the dark drama will premiere in the summer of 2015 with no firm date announced just yet. It picks up one year after Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) and Bedelia (Gillian Anderson) were seen jetting off to Europe.
