Clarice is a new series coming to CBS in just a few months that will continue The Silence of the Lambs franchise.
However, there’s one thing that the television series can’t do, and that’s mention anything about Hannibal Lecter.
According to executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who spoke with Entertainment Weekly, the series can’t do this because the rights to author Thomas Harris’ characters are actually divided between MGM and the Dino De Laurentiis Company.

But, the CBS show will have all the other characters mentioned in the book, like Clarice Starling, her colleague Ardelia Mapp, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler, the late serial killer Buffalo Bill, and a few others.
“I’m still trying to understand how the rights are divided,” Alex shared with the magazine about the legality of it all, but he’s okay with that too.
Turns out that not having access to Hannibal hasn’t been limiting.
“It’s been quite liberating because we have no interest in writing about Hannibal — not because we didn’t love the films and the show,” Alex adds, “but because it was done so well by so many people that it didn’t feel fresh for us.”

A Silence of the Lambs spinoff is heading to CBS.
Clarice, a TV drama spinoff of the psychological thriller film, received a series commitment, the network announced during the TCA winter press tour on Sunday (January 12).
Here’s a synposis, via THR: “The potential series takes place in 1993, a year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs. Clarice is described as a deep dive into the untold personal story of Clarice Starling — the role made famous by Jodie Foster in the feature — as she returns to the field to pursue serial murderers and sexual predators while navigating the high stakes political world of Washington, D.C.”
“After more than 20 years of silence, we’re privileged to give voice to one of America’s most enduring heroes – Clarice Starling. Clarice’s bravery and complexity have always lit the way, even as her personal story remained in the dark. But hers is the very story we need today: her struggle, her resilience, her victory. Her time is now, and always,” said showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet.
An actress has not yet been announced to play the lead role.
