CBS' highly-anticipated new series Clarice will pick up just one year after the events of the iconic Thomas Harris novel The Silence of the Lambs, and the movie of the same name.

Executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who co-created the series with Jenny Lumet, told Entertainment Weekly that a complicated rights issue essentially 'banned' the production from even mentioning the iconic killer's name.
