Hannibal's cannibal will spend season 3 trotting across Europe on the lam, and the series will slowly start to move away from the heavy procedural aspect of seasons past.

'Hannibal' Won't Go Past 6 Seasons, Bryan Fuller Explains

Will Graham and his fellow "Mizumono" survivors will take it upon themselves to track down the elusive killer when the series returns in 2015, and Bryan Fuller believes the spectacular cases of the first two years will be replaced by a growing mythology.

"The first season was much more procedural, and the second season less so, but still procedural. The third season, the first half, is very much a soap opera. It is all serialized," Fuller explained to IGN. "Every episode kind of stands alone as this odd, independent movie, so there's an even greater dreamlike sense of storytelling with those first seven episodes. So that's been a lot of fun creatively, just to see how this show continues to evolve and transform. The show is transforming in the way that the characters are. And the style of it is getting a little more, almost fairy tale-like in its rich sense of texture and mythology."
