In ordinary times, the winter Television Critics Press Tour is an opportunity for TV journalists from across the country to gather in a Los Angeles hotel and listen to the makers of TV shows answer questions and discuss their programs.
In the coronavirus age, everything is different. Now, instead of a compressed, two-plus week period, where panels are scheduled for the length of every day, weekends included, the press tour has gone virtual. Which means people associated with shows from various networks will be turning up in Zoom sessions for the next few weeks.
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.
While the show is set so closely to that iconic story, it may come as a surprise that the show is essentially banned from even mentioning Hannibal Lecter, the iconic killer played by Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins.
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.

“I’m still trying to understand how the rights are divided,”
Alex shared with the magazine about the legality of it all, but he’s okay with that too.
Turns out that not having access to Hannibal hasn’t been limiting.
“It’s been quite liberating because we have no interest in writing about Hannibal not because we didn’t love the films and the show,”
Alex adds, “but because it was done so well by so many people that it didn’t feel fresh for us.”
Clarice will be centered on the FBI Agent as she returns to the field in 1993, one year after the events of “The Silence of the Lambs.”
