4th November 2021 UKTV has today announced the acquisition of the drama series Clarice (13x60) for leading crime drama channel Alibi, following a deal with MGM Television. The series will air this December.
The thirteen-part series is a spin-off from Thomas Harris 1988 novel The Silence of the Lambs and its 1991 film adaptation. Rebecca Breeds (Pretty Little Liars) stars as Clarice Starling, alongside Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead) as Paul Krendler, Lucca De Oliveira (Animal Kingdom) as Thomas Esquivel, Kal Penn (Designated Survivor) as Shaan Tripathi, Nick Sandow (Orange is the New Black) as Murray Clarke, Devyn A. Tyler (Watchman) as Ardelia Mapp, Marnee Carpenter (Criminal Minds) as Catherine Martin.
Clarice is a deep dive into the untold personal story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling (Breeds) as she returns to the field in 1993, one year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs. Brilliant and vulnerable, Clarices bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her. However, her complex psychological makeup empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a mans world, as well as escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life.
Clarice has been acquired for UKTV by Daniel Thomas, global acquisitions manager for UKTV and BBC Studios. The series is produced by MGM Television and CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout. Clarice is executive produced and co-created by Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet, with executive producers Heather Kadin and Elizabeth Klaviter.
Daniel Thomas said:
Its great to be working with MGM on this brilliant new series. Clarice is a fantastic addition for Alibi and will help round off a great year on the channel.
Emma Ayech, Alibis channel director, added:
We are so excited to have Clarice on Alibi this December. The psychological thriller will be in great company alongside our standout UKTV Originals, with Traces and We Hunt Together returning for a second series in the new year.
Clarice will air on Alibi in December.
