Actress Gillian Anderson has quite the role ahead of her in the third season of 'Hannibal,' and while her character was sparingly used in the previous, she recently voiced her excitement on things to come.

From where the last season left off and the trailer for the third season, we know that Hannibal and Anderson's character Bedelia will be partners in crime for at least the first half of the season. Judging by what fans have already seen of the two characters, the dynamic between them should be a highpoint of this season.

In an interview with IGN, Anderson speaks on her time constraints made being a reoccurring character very difficult. She states:

"I knew it was something that Bryan [Fuller] really wanted to make happen. There was a chance we weren't going to be able to do it with my other commitments. And once I heard that that's what his plan was, I was determined. I ended up... I think I was between [filming] Crisis and the Fall. I was in Northern Ireland and flown to Chicago. I flew on a Saturday morning to shoot six hours of Hannibal, all those scenes, and then left to fly to London to shoot The Fall the next day. But it enabled us to set up how a good portion of the next season has gone. It's cool!"

She also spoke on the development of her character Bedelia:

"So exciting and such an interesting dynamic between the two of them and shifting and changing all the time but still with big question marks. It's so tantalizing. There's something so tantalizing about what it could be and where it could go and what it all means. What does she think is going on and does she know everything and is she complicit and all of that which is always fabulous for dramatic tension."
