Clarice

Overview

The untold personal story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993, one year after the events of “The Silence of the Lambs.” Brilliant and vulnerable, Clarice’s bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her. However, her complex psychological makeup that comes from a challenging childhood empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a man’s world, as well as escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life.

After one solid season, the show hit snags when CBS wanted to move it to streaming only on Paramount+. Due to disagreements with MGM (who owns the IP), the series resulted in a single season.
