'Hannibal' Season 3 SPOILERS, Casting Rumors, 2015 Episodes: Gillian Anderson Promoted To Series Regular - Twitter Reacts To More Dr. Bedelia du Maurier

As you might have guessed from the second season finale of NBC's gruesome series Hannibal, we'll be seeing a lot more of Dr. Bedelia du Maurier, played brilliantly by Gillian Anderson. Now the show has made it official, promoting the X-Files alum to series regular, as we get excited for the upcoming 2015 episodes. Do you consider this casting news a spoiler that can start some more rumors?

The character of Bedelia was easily one of the most intrigueing of the first two seasons, having had a past with Dr. Lecter and knowing much more about him than anyone else - including the viewers. It looks like their relationship will develop more in season three, as hinted in the 2014 finale where we saw them on a plane together after Hannibal ... took care of some loose ends.

It looks like fans of the series are pretty excited about the news, too. Let's take a look at some Twitter reactions to this cast update:
