"I didn't know about him until I received the information from everyone else, who gasped and said, 'Oh, you're playing the Red Dragon', and I sort of said, 'I don't really know what it means'," Armitage says in the promo.

"And then I went in search of the book and found out what it really meant."

The trailer also provides rather spoilery glimpses at Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Bedelia du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) in Europe.

Armitage previously dropped hints about Dolarhyde in an interview with Digital Spy.

"Most movies are maximum two hours long, and we get six hours to really explore the fine detail of what it means to be a psychopath, and understand the roots of that, the birth of a child that turns into a monster," he said. "It's going to be very interesting."

Season three of Hannibal premieres on NBC on June 4, and in the UK on Sky Living on June 8.
