CBS has shared the first full trailer for upcoming The Silence of the Lambs sequel series, Clarice, which stars Aussie actress Rebecca Breeds (The Originals, Pretty Little Liars) in the lead role of Clarice Starling; the intuitive detective previously played by both Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore on the big screen.
Set one year after the events of Lambs, Clarice follows the titular FBI Agent as she returns to the field to pursue serial murderers and sexual predators while navigating the high-stakes political world of Washington, D.C.
It's been confirmed that Hannibal Lecter will not appear (in fact, the character can't even be mentioned by name due to the complex rights issues between MGM, Dino De Laurentiis, and CBS), but it does look like we may see flashback's to the Buffalo Bill case that helped build Starling's reputation.
Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
Clarice also stars Marnee Carpenter (Criminal Minds, Good Girls), Jayne Atkinson (Criminal Minds, House of Cards), Shawn Doyle (The Comey Rule, The Expanse), and Tim Guinee (Homeland, Elementary). Elizabeth Klaviter is on board as showrunner and executive producer.
The show is set to premiere on February 7.
