While we can debate until the cows come home (whatever that old idiom means) what the best damn horror show on TV is, I've always argued that NBC's "Hannibal" wears that crown of antlers. I'm kind of obsessed with it, to tell the truth, and I've been super stoked about the third season, which we recently learned wouldn't be returning until the summer (bummer!). We also recently learned that Richard Amitage had been cast as Francis Dolarhyde, aka The Tooth Fairy, for the upcoming season, and now we've learned that the cast list is growing with the addition of a new character: Will Graham's (Hugh Dancy) wife.
TVLine is reporting that Tony award winner Nina Arianda has been cast as Will’s new wife, Molly Graham, in season three of the NBC drama.
Arianda’s character is described as “in her 30s, Molly is Will’s new wife; she’s also the mother of 12-year-old Walter. Molly is strong, vibrant, and has helped Will overcome his past. Molly knows all that has gone before and doesn’t care.”
Molly will be introduced in Episode 8, an installment that will jump ahead several years to allow for the transformation in Will’s personal life.
We'll let you know when "Hannibal" Season 3 grabs an official premiere date.
