‘Clarice’ Preview

Starring Rebecca Breeds as the title character, this new foray into Harris’ world gets into the “the untold personal story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993, one year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs,” according to the CBS press release.

“Brilliant and vulnerable, Clarice’s bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her,” the description continues. “However, her complex psychological makeup that comes from a challenging childhood empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a man’s world, as well as escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life.”

The series co-stars Michael Cudlitz, Lucca De Oliveira, Kal Penn, Nick Sandow, Devyn Tyler, and Marnee Carpenter.

In a Q&A with the Television Critics Association ahead of the premiere, creator Jenny Lumet said that she vividly remembers the moment that Starling (played by Jodie Foster in the film) became her hero and that’s what made her want to do this show.

“I remember the moment when Clarice Starling became my hero. In The Silence of the Lambs, she was somehow able to go down into the dark and find the human and the monsters and then pull out the light. And I thought, as I watched her, this is a woman with a lot of secrets. And I like that,” said Lumet, adding that she reached out to novelist Thomas Harris and they spoke about the light in Clarice’s eyes.

“She went silent for years [after the events of the film] and I couldn’t let it go, that you had this hero, this icon, this mystery. What happened in those missing years? And I reached out to Thomas Harris … and we spoke about the light in Clarice’s eyes, and he said, “It’s ours now.’ And then I got all goose bumpy, because it was Thomas Harris talking to me,” she said, adding, “I felt that responsibility and I want to know the light and the dark and the mind and the heart of this woman, this hero, Clarice Starling.”

Breeds added that they want to “honor this iconic story” and in stepping into Foster’s Oscar-winning shoes, she focused on the distinct accent Foster had in the film as a way to honor the previous portrayal.

“[The accent] brought the character home to me. So I found Clarice when I found the accent … that was one thing that I definitely looked to Jodie’s performance in — was the accent. … I wanted really badly to echo the voice because it’s that comfort, that familiarity that I think people will find that will link the two worlds together in a really beautiful way,” said Breeds.

She also said that it was nice to be able to step out of the dark world of the show via the accent.

“I think it really helps me switch into the character, which is a really nice thing to have. Because it is a very dark world and it is nice to have something to step into and then being able to step out of it and take a breath for a minute and step back into her shoes again. It can be quite heavy, so it’s a nice on and off switch.”

Clarice airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
