Katharine Isabelle will bring romance to the table on season two of NBC’s “Hannibal,” its superb, but ratings-challenged, drama chronicling the early days of Hannibal Lecter, the notorious cannibal/serial killer first introduced in the Thomas Harris novels “Red Dragon” and “Silence of the Lambs.”

Isabelle will play a lesbian named Margot, whose relationship to her serial killer twin brother has led her to Hannibal Lecter’s (Mads Mikkelsen) couch. According to TVLine, she will serve as a love interest for FBI profiler and basket case Will Graham (Hugh Dancy).

Isabelle is coming off as the lead in the Jen and Sylvia Soska’s critically acclaimed medical frightener American Mary. Her creds include the Ginger Snaps franchise, Freddy Vs. Jason, and Chris Nolan’s Insomnia. She’ll next be seen in the Soska’s See No Evil 2, a sequel to Gregory Dark’s 2006 slasher.
