It ’s the metre of year when , under normal conditions , we embark on to learn about fresh shows coming next fall or winter , and while things are anything but normalCBSis continue the fine custom by picking up three shows for the fall , a couple without even a pilot .
Most interesting to io9 readers is probably Clarice , as report byTV Line , a buzzed - about project that functions as a sequel toSilence of the Lambs , following actress Rebecca Breeds ( Originals ) asClarice Starlinga year after the events of the film / Bible . Executive produced by Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet , it bet to be a fresh take on the Hannibal mythos , with Kal Penn , Nick Sandow , Michael Cudlitz , Luca De Oliveira and Devyn A Tyler also star . I ’m not sure I ’m quick for a take on the Hannibal universe that does n’t include Mads Mikkelsen or at least with child homoerotic subtext , but I ’m trying to keep an overt nous .
The other show that seems intriguing , or at least like firm pulpy fun , is a Queen Latifah - led reboot of The Equalizer . Based on the 1980s TV show , it ’ll watch Latifah as the eponymic Equalizer , who , if the premise stay unchanged , will be a former intelligence federal agent using her skills to avail the helpless . I ’m into this thought , especially if Latifah can take exception some good Amanda Waller vibes . It ’ll be showrun by Andrew Marlowe and Terry Miller , both EPs on Castle , with Chris Noth and Lorraine Toussaint also star .

The third show is , uh , a situation comedy about electric organ donors from Chuck Lorre . Sounds … Hm . You know what , nevermind , let ’s not even go there .
