‘Hannibal’ Season 3 Update: What Is Going To Happen To Bedelia? (Review, Spoilers)

Bedelia (new series regular Gillian Anderson)

"Hannibal" Season 3 premiered June 4 without Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). Instead, Bedelia (new series regular Gillian Anderson) gets more than sufficient screen time, which could be a clue on what happens next to her character.

Spoiler alert: This update contains "Hannibal" Season 3 spoilers. Read on at your own risk.

"Hannibal" television developer Bryan Fuller made a deliberate choice not to include Dancy in the premiere episode of his show's third season. Many fans take this as a sign that this could be a Bedelia-centric season.

Then again, the title of "Hannibal" Season 3, Episode 1 is "Antipasto." It is what you call the light nibbles before the main course.

For a few quick moments in "Hannibal" Season 3, Episode 1, Bedelia relives the attack of Neal Frank (Zachary Quinto). Spoiler reports are saying this is not the last time for Quinto to appear this season, which could mean Bedelia has yet to find closure with the way things ended in the attack.

Interestingly, Bedelia finds herself "participating" in the first on-screen kill of the season: Tom Wisdom's Anthony Dimmond. Pushed for a choice, Bedelia admits to Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) that she is, in fact, a party to the murder.

Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier is getting darker, and it seems there is no turning back. What happens when she comes face to face with Will Graham, who returns in "Hannibal" Season 3, Episode 2 ("Primavera")?

Will is more aggressive, and perhaps more confident than ever. One, he manages to get in Hannibal's vulnerable side. Two, he was viciously attacked, but he survived. He had nothing to lose then, and he has much less to lose now.

"Hannibal" Season 3, Episode 2 ("Primavera") airs this Thursday on NBC.
