For years, Anthony Hopkins was the face of Hannibal Lecter. His words to Clarice Starling have haunted many people's nightmares. The character of Hannibal Lecter was first introduced to the world through the novels of Thomas Harris, and his recognizability only grew with the Oscar winning performances given in The Silence of the Lambs. So when Bryan Fuller created Hannibal for NBC, he had a great deal to live up to. He was working with an iconic set of characters that deserved a lot of respect.
When the announcement came that Gillian Anderson would be joining the cast of Hannibal in season one, we were intrigued. We always look forward to seeing her work, but what we weren't counting on was just how incredible the entirety of Hannibal would be. From the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal to the struggles of Abigail Hobbs, we were hooked early on. Never had murder been so appetizing.
Gillian plays Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier, Hannibal Lecter's psychiatrist who is hiding her own dark secrets. She made guest appearances throughout seasons one and two, but was promoted to a series regular for the coming season. According to multiple reports, Fannibals will be finding out a lot about Bedelia and her past this year, and we cannot wait.
Season three of Hannibal premieres tonight at 10pm on NBC following David Duchovny's Aquarius. The first episode, "Antipasto" will feature heavily on Bedelia Du Maurier and her relationship with Hannibal. We will find them living in Europe, on the run from the FBI after the disaster Lecter left behind at the end of season two.
XFN will be reviewing season three of Hannibal, bringing you recaps and reviews every week. However, before we dive into the new episodes, let's take a look back at the series' first two seasons to catch up on anything you've forgotten.

Last week's episodes ended with Emma's father Ken Karn paying a visit to Charles Manson that ended with the two kissing. We left Sam Hodiak with Grace Karn going over phone records from Ken's office. Do they get any closer to bringing Emma home? Does Episode 3 continue the strong storytelling started in the first two episodes? Find out after the jump.
