Per TV Guide, “Clarice” will follow the exploits of a young Starling soon after she graduates from the FBI academy. MGM is producing the series, which Lifetime boss Nancy Dubuc first hinted may be in the works during the network’s recent Upfront presentation.
As originally envisioned in author Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter series of books, Clarice grew up in West Virginia until she was 10, when her father, a police officer, was shot and killed. She moves to her uncle’s farm in Montana but later runs away and winds up in an orphanage. After college she applies to the FBI academy.
No need to worry about any overlap with “Hannibal”, from Bryan Fuller, as it doesn’t include the Clarice character, instead focusing on the relationship between Hannibal and FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (played by Hugh Dancy).
Look for more soon!
