Is Clarice Canceled? Season 2 Updates Explained
Clarice season 2 may not happen although The Silence of the Lambs spinoff has not been officially canceled. Produced by Alex Kurtzman and starring Rebecca Breeds as FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling, the mystery thriller was set in 1993, one year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs. Clarice season 1 set Starling on a new path to discover the truth behind several murders, which eventually leads her to uncover a vast and truly horrible conspiracy. Along the way, Clarice also unearths deep secrets about her family, upending the way she sees her father and laying the foundations for Clarice season 2.
Clarice was recruited by the FBI's Violent Crimes Apprehension Program (ViCAP) because of her expertise in hunting serial killers. When Starling uncovers an apparent string of serial murders, she deduces that it wasn't the work of a serial killer, but rather a complex conspiracy involving pregnant women who were murdered for speaking out against a powerful pharmaceutical company. Despite tensions with ViCAP's director, Paul Krendler (Michael Cudlitz), Attorney General Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson), and her own teammates, Clarice bravely pursues the truth with the help of her best friend, Ardelia Mapp (Devyn A. Tyler). Clarice eventually uncovers the plot concocted by Alastor Pharmaceuticals' billionaire owner, Nils Hagen (Peter McRobbie), and his son, Tyson Conway (Douglas Smith).
