Gillian Anderson Says 'Hannibal' is 'Too Dark For Me'

Gillian Anderson is one of the biggest stars you will see regularly when "Hannibal" Season 3 premiere hits. Her character could either make or break Lecter's journey. Although she has starred in several TV series with dark theme before, Anderson said the NBC horror drama series is on another level.

"Hannibal is too dark for me! It is," Anderson said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

"If I'm going to watch some of my scenes, I need to have my finger on the fast forward [button]. I literally am not that person. But what I am interested in there is I know the genius of [showrunner] Bryan Fuller and how extraordinary it is, what they're creating in an artistic vein."

"And the opportunity to work with those three fine actors - and also when you're offered Hannibal Lecter's psychiatrist, that's a difficult thing to say no to! (Laughs.) So, it has more to do with all of that then any draw to the darkness because I'm not drawn to darkness at all."

Right now, fans need to have more patience as "Hannibal" Season 3 premiere was moved by NBC to summer.
