Wondering what everyone's favorite leading lady has been up to these days? Well the answer is one heck of a lot. Gillian Anderson has some great new projects coming up that will be sure to keep us all watching and reading for a long while to come. Here's the latest:
Hannibal
The second season of NBC's Hannibal premieres February 28th at 10/9c. Gillian will be resuming her role as Dr. Lecter's personal psychiatrist, Bedelia Du Maurier. Her tumultuous recent history with dangerous patients is sure to continue as the truth about Hannibal Lecter's famous gourmet meals comes to light. If you have yet to watch the series, we highly recommend it. There's some fantastic writing, and Dr. Du Maurier will keep you guessing.
Check out the recap of season one here and the trailer for season two here. There's also a leaked promo heavily featuring Gillian that has been floating around the internet. But we have no idea where it is. We would never lie. We willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation:
Crisis
Gillian's newest television project is another NBC show, premiering this March 16th at 10/9c. Crisis is a thriller centering around the kidnapped children of some of Washington DC's most influential people. Gillian plays Meg Fitch, a powerful CEO whose daughter is kidnapped. Check out the preview below:
EarthEnd Saga
We will soon be seeing Gillian put pen to paper again, but not in the screenplay format we're accustomed to. Instead of television or film, we will be seeing her work in a Simon & Schuster franchise called EarthEnd Saga. This science fiction novel series will be co-written with Jeff Rovin, and the first book, A Vision of Fire will be released in October.
As described by EW, the novel "centers on Caitlin O'Hara, a world-traveling child psychiatrist who specializes in treating kids who've suffered trauma from natural disasters and war. She's a grounded personality – she has a son, who is deaf, and everything she knows about the world is challenged when she begins treating a uniquely troubled young girl." Check out Entertainment Weekly for more details on the project.
Doodle 4 NF
We might still be in the grips of winter, but later this spring the annual Doodle 4 NF auctions will be going live. As part of NF Awareness Month this May, doodles drawn many different celebrities will be up for auction, including those by some of your favorite X-Files stars. When the auctions get closer, we'll keep you updated, but until then, make sure you follow Doodle 4 NF on Facebook and Twitter for the latest.
