New ‘Hannibal’ Episode Spoilers: Mad Mikkelsen Dr Lecter’s Partner in Crime Bedelia Talks Season 3

Spoiler Alert: Tonight, NBC’s killer drama Hannibal is back with another all new Season 3 episode. Recently, Gillian Anderson (X-Files) opened up about playing Hannibal Lecter (Mad Mikkelsen) partner in crime, Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Hannibal, titled “Primavera,” reads:

“A healed Will follows a hunch and lands in Italy to search for Hannibal Lecter. Will draws suspicion from an inspector, who then tries to enlist Will's help to apprehend Lecter.”

Hannibal is not alone this season, pairing up with Gillian Anderson’s Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier. Recently, Anderson spoke to USA Today about her character’s partnership with Dr. Lector:

"She's on a very complex and disturbing journey. There is a fear for her and for us that Hannibal could potentially turn on her, and that she is as much a victim as anybody else. You can see she's in over her head, but there's also this certain amount of delight and enjoyment she's getting in being so close to something that is so dangerous and titillating for her."

Hannibal boss Bryan Fuller also commented on Anderson’s casting, doting on the actress and character:

“I've absolutely adored working with her. One of the things I like about Bedelia and Gillian's portrayal is that you believe she is every bit as smart as Hannibal Lecter, and you need a very intelligent actor to be able to pull that relationship off."

Be sure to tune into the all new episode of Hannibal, tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on NBC.
