Showrunner Bryan Fuller, a self-described Fannibal who generously jumped on the phone with Digital Spy this week for an in-depth chat about all things season three. We're
pretty sure Hannibal would disapprove of snacking in between meals, but
these 11 morsels of new info from Fuller should be just sufficient
enough to whet your appetite without ruining it.
Spoilers connected with Bedelia:
-- The season premiere 'Antipasto' is all about Bedelia Du Maurier and her years-long relationship with Hannibal Lecter.
"It really does feel like 'What are we watching?' Will Graham isn't in it, none of the other familiar characters are in it, it's just Hannibal and Bedelia and their history over three different periods of time."
-- ... But even in Florence with Bedelia, Hannibal's still pining for the one who got away.
"In that first episode all about Bedelia and Hannibal, there's just a hint of 'Wouldn't this be better if it were me and Will Graham?' in terms of Hannibal thinking that, and what he misses. Because Bedelia will always be Hannibal's psychiatrist, she'll never be necessarily as intimate and passionate in her relationship with Hannibal as Will and Hannibal are."

-- Between her troubled patient history and her increasingly treacherous
relationship with Hannibal, comedy hasn't been high on the agenda thus
far for Bedelia. That's all about to change, in episode six
specifically.
"Gillian has quite a big role in the first half of the season, and she's hilarious. There's one episode in particular where she is laugh-out-loud funny, and I can't wait for people to see that because she's just a delight."
