TVline says Gillian Anderson will be reprising her role as Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier, Hannibal Lecter’s psychologist.
Anderson, of course, will join all of the usual suspects from the show as well as newcomer Cynthia Nixon (Sex & the City). It will be interesting to see how Du Maurier interacts with Hannibal this season considering his alpha position in the Hannibal/Will Graham dynamic now. Graham’s still behind bars and will be for a while, according to showrunner Bryan Fuller who told the press back in June:
He will be incarcerated, and we will be dealing with all of the threads of that. We need to see all of the things happen that would happen in that scenario. Will Graham needs to go on trial for the murders that he may or may not have committed. Jack has to be brought before a review board for his participation in what happened to Will, and Hannibal, as Will’s psychiatrist, is going to continue to try to help Will see the truth that Hannibal wants him to see. The ball is up in the air in so many ways for Jack and Hannibal and Will. The fun of Season 2 will be spiking those balls.
More as it comes in!
