Clariiiiiiiiiiiice is back.
The heroine of "The Silence of the Lambs" is getting her own series, CBS announced Sunday.
Set in 1993, a year after the original Hannibal Lecter story, "'Clarice' is a deep dive into the untold personal story of Clarice Starling as she returns to the field to pursue serial murderers and sexual predators while navigating the high stakes political world of Washington, D.C.," the network said in a press release.
The role of the young FBI agent originated in Thomas Harris' 1988 novel and was brought to life by Jodie Foster in the 1991 movie of the same name.
Foster won the Oscar for best actress the following year, and the movie took home best picture, best actor, best director and best screenplay based on material previously published.
Julianne Moore took over the role in 2001's "Hannibal," directed by Ridley Scott, after Foster declined to come back. Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet will serve as co-writers and executive producers on the show, which has been given a series commitment.
