The new Clarice Starling series coming to CBS won’t descend into a procedural “case of the week” for Rebecca Breeds’ Clarice to solve, executive producer Alex Kurtzman has promised.

“Clarice Starling has a truly unique amazing psychology, and part of why Silence of the Lambs was so wonderful is the film put you so squarely in her shoes,” he told a THR podcast. “We didn’t want it to be Clarice Starling: The Procedural. We just weren’t go to make that show…. And MGM, who was gracious enough to trust us with the rights to Clarice, had no interest in making that show.”

The series will venture into the territory that Thomas Harris mined in his novels. “The title of the pilot is ‘The Silence Is Over,’ and that’s actually what we want the outline for the show to be. It’s ‘Clarice Starling is finally speaking,’ and she’s exploring lots of new things about herself after the trauma of Buffalo Bill.”

Clarice is heading to CBS mid-season; it has been shooting for the last month.
