There's this undeniable feeling that NBC's Hannibal is going to be big in the second season. The show, which stars Mads Mikelsen on the title role and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham, has been inside the conversations about most exciting TV series in 2013 and show's to be excited about in 2014.

For the horror-drama show's second season, which will start on February 28, Hannibal will introduce new characters, characters that will be played by big television stars.

TV Guide revealed that Hannibal will be welcoming Jeremy Davies and Chris Diamantopoulos in the second season. Davies is famous for playing the role of physicist Daniel Faraday in the mega hit TV series Lost. Diamantopoulos, on the other hand, is recognized for his role as Moe Howard in the 2012 The Three Stooges film.

TV Guide Wrote:

Davies, whose casting was mentioned recently during the Television Critics Association winter previews, will appear in two episodes as Peter Bernardone, an animal rescue worker who becomes a suspect when a bizarre murder is discovered at a stable where he once worked. Diamantopoulos will play Clark Ingram, Peter's longtime social worker who has perhaps been too influential in his client's life.

It continued:

It is unclear how the characters will tie into Season 2's larger arc, which involves Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) trying to prove he is innocent of a series of murders he (correctly) believes were committed by Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). The show's second season will also feature returning guest stars Gillian Anderson, Eddie Izzard and Raul Esparza.

Earlier this month, Hannibal has also announced major addition in its cast. Show creators said that Will Graham will get his new love interest in the person of Margot (to be played by Katharine Isabelle). Aside from being Will's love interest, Margot will also haunt Hannibal who is the psychiatrist of her twin brother who abused her for a long time. Margot was first seen in the show's film version.
