Hannibal's Mason Verger will get his Cordell in season 3.

'Hannibal' Season 3: Francis Dolarhyde Love Interest Cast, 'Vampire Diaries' Star Snags Role

Safely locked away, the demented pig farmer will receive his own personal nurse in the form of Glenn Fleshler, according to TV Line.

The True Detective alum will become a "quiet, very intelligent and definitely creepy" character for Bryan Fuller's psychological thriller, TV Line reported. However, Cordell has a vaguely disturbing edge about him that may indicate he shares some of his boss' desire for bloody mayhem.

The news comes as the latest in a streaming of casting announcements for the NBC series. In addition to Fleshler, Hannibal recently added Fortunato Cerlino as Inspector Pazzi, Joe Anderon as Michael Pitt's Mason Verger replacement, Nina Arianda as Molly Graham, Rutina Wesley as Reba McClane, and Richard Armitage as Francis Dolarhyde.

Set to pick up in the wake of "Mizumono," season 3 will open with Hannibal's (Mads Mikkelsen) little European adventure. After Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) tracks down his former friend, the drama will use episode 8 to jump forward several years.
