Two Walking Dead Alumni Star in New CBS Series Clarice Clarice, it's with two Walking Dead stars among the cast appearing in the Silence of the Lambs sequel series on CBS. One year after the events of the 1991 film that starred Jodie Foster as Starling and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the new series from creators Alex Kurtzman ( Star Trek: Picard) and Jenny Lumet ( Star Trek: Discovery) takes a "deep dive" into Starling's untold personal story. Clarice returns its lead heroine to the field in 1993 Washington, D.C., where Starling pursues serial murderers and sexual predators with allies Shaan Tripathi (Kal Penn), Tomas Esquivel (Lucca de Oliveira), and Agent Clark (Nick Sandow).
