'Clarice' Might End Up Canceled After Paramount+ Negotiations Hit a Stalemate

We have some bad news for fans of the CBS series Clarice.

It was previously announced that the freshman drama series would be moving to Paramount+ for the second season, but it seems the show might end up canceled instead.

Deadline is reporting that negotiations between Paramount+ and the show’s studio, MGM, have hit a stalemate and now the future of the series is up in the air.

The outlet also reports that there “is no viable path for Clarice to continue on CBS as the broadcast network already committed to a full slate of series for next season.” So basically, unless the Paramount+ deal is closed, the show’s future is over.

Some of the drama surrounding the negotiations involves the deals made for SEAL Team and Evil, two other CBS shows that moved from the network to Paramount+. Those deals are much different though because Evil‘s second season was already finished before the streaming service picked up the show and SEAL Team‘s first four episodes of the next season will air on CBS before the rest of the season becomes a Paramount+ exclusive.

MGM wanted a minimum guarantee of 15 episodes while Paramount+ is only offering 10 episodes. Evil‘s upcoming season has 13 episodes while SEAL Team‘s upcoming season has 14 episodes, including the four that will air on CBS.

Deadline is also saying that MGM’s purchase by Amazon could lead to a rebooted Clarice series at Amazon Prime Video.

MGM chairman Kevin Ulrich reportedly believes “that a broadcast series brings more value to the entire MGM library and a move of Clarice to a streamer would negatively impact the studio’s library assets beyond that one series.”

We’ll have to wait and see what happens!
