Clarice: Take a Bite Out of the Trailer for New Silence of the Lambs Series

The new trailer for Clarice gives us a fresh look at The Silence of the Lambs sequel series.

Clarice Starling is one of the most celebrated heroines in both literary and film history, and she’s getting an all-new series set to unveil what happened after she caught notorious serial killer Buffalo Bill. That series is called Clarice, and if CBS’ new trailer is anything to go by, it could be something special.

The trailer follows a young Clarice Starling, played by newcomer Rebecca Breeds, one year after her capture of the serial killer Buffalo Bill. She’s rising through the FBI’s ranks quickly as her reputation for catching serial killers now leads her to be consulted on other similar cases.

It appears to be a dark crime drama potentially similar to NBC’s Hannibal TV series and may take place in the modern world despite the film preceding it, The Silence of the Lambs, taking place in 1990. Appropriately then, Breeds seems to be taking cues from Jodie Foster’s performance in Silence of the Lambs, while still adding her own spin on it.

Official Clarice Synopsis
