Scully is back!

Ten years after the end of "The X-Files", star Gillian Anderson is returning to U.S. broadcast TV on the upcoming NBC thriller "Hannibal", Entertainment Weekly reports.

Anderson, 44, will play Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier, the therapist of Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), in a multi-episode arc.



"Every therapist needs their own head examined and we are ecstatic that Gillian Anderson has chosen 'Hannibal' to mark her return to American television after 10 years to portray Dr. Lecter's personal psychiatrist," Hannibal's creator and executive producer Bryan Fuller said in a statement to the magazine.

"Her intelligence and sophistication, not to mention her pedigree of groundbreaking TV, make her the perfect actress to match wits and psychological manipulations with one of the greatest villains of pop culture. I couldn't be more excited."



No premiere date has been announced for "Hannibal", but it could debut as soon as this spring.
