In 1991 audiences were left both shocked and enthralled by The Silence of the Lambs.
A movie that won the hearts of (or scared the pants off) critics and viewers alike, solidifying its cinematic legacy thanks to memorable characters, slick writing, and the fact that to this day it remains one of the few movies, and the only horror movie, to win the "Big Five" at the Oscars.
It scooped up Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay at the Oscars in 1992.
The film told the story of Clarice Starling, an FBI agent who is forced to seek out and then work with Hannibal Lecter, a psychopathic serial killer and former psychiatrist. All so she can apprehend another serial killer who has been torturing and killing his female victims.
Despite the satisfying end to the iconic film there was always a tide of interest in an in-depth look at what happened next to Clarice - a woman who had faced down one serial killer and become almost too familiar with another. Who had lived through trauma and survived to tell the tale.
Luckily, it's this ongoing exploration of a fascinating female character that is the beating heart of Stan's gripping new drama Clarice.
Take a look at the trailer for Clarice, streaming only on Stan.
The new Stan series is set in 1993 and was created by Star Trek: Discovery Executive Producers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet.
The story picks up one year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs and focuses on a new chapter in Clarice's life that quickly turns dark.
Taking up the mantle of the young, whip-smart FBI agent is Australian actress Rebecca Breeds, who first made a name for herself in Blue Water High and then moved on to an enduring stint on Home and Away. Her talents then took her overseas to appear in TV shows Pretty Little Liars and The Originals.
