Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

25. Clarice

Network: CBS
Status: Unofficially Canceled

When not rebooting, or re-imagining an old program, spin-offs, prequels, and sequels are the next best way for a franchise to stretch out its already existing fame, while expanding its fanbase to a new generation of viewers. Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman were hired in 2020, to develop “Clarice”, a television series that was intended to act as a sequel to the award-winning film, “The Silence of the Lambs”.

Filming of the first and only season, to date, of “Clarice”, took place in Toronto, Canada, between the autumn of 2020 and the spring of 2021. As of this writing, season two of “Clarice” has yet to be confirmed, and due to its disappointing ratings, it’s looking rather doubtful that it will be.
