It appears that a season 2 of the Clarice Starling series may not happen after all. The spinoff series that stars Rebecca Breeds as the character may have lost its new home. Initially the second season was going to go to CBS but due to low viewership and a lack of serious interest, the show was going to jump to Paramount+ streaming. Now it looks like those plans are out the window which will mean there will be no further episodes of the latest in a long line of Silence of the Lambs sequels, prequels, and TV series. The show had a hard time maintaining numbers on CBS but did very well on Paramount+, hence the change in outlet.
Now, due to a dispute between Paramount/CBS and MGM has led to no official deal to continue on with the show. So it looks like the character may have to live another day in some other realm because (for now), there is no deal to bring Clarice back to the small screen. The financial battles between the outlets is most likely going to kill any chance of the series seeing a continuation. Unlike Hannibal, this series never had a large cult following or viewership.
