Starring four-time Emmy-nominated actress Laverne Cox (Orange Is the New Black, Doubt, The Masked Singer) and acclaimed comedian George Wallace (Batman Forever, 3 Strikes, The Wash), Clean Slate follows Harry (played by Wallace), an old-school car wash owner in Alabama who has a lot of soul searching to do when the child he thought was a son returns after 17 years as a proud trans woman, Desiree (played by Cox). Her homecoming brings together a hilarious cast of friends, coworkers, and love interests as Desiree and Harry try to get it right the second time around. The series explores universal themes of unconditional love, all through legendary producer Norman Lear’s signature boundary-pushing brand of comedy.
The talent cast also includes Telma Hopkins (Family Matters, Half & Half), D.K. Uzoukwu (The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, The Choir, Last to Love), Jay Wilkison (Perfect Stranger, The Blacklist), and Norah Murphy (Kindred, The Exorcist:Believer).
Cox (Laverne Cox Productions), Wallace, and Dan Ewen (Dear Santa, Playing with Fire) are creators and executive producers of the series. Additionally, Ewen co-showruns the series with executive producer Simran Baidwan. Emmy winners Norman Lear (Act III Productions) and Brent Miller also serve as executive producers for the series. Paul Hilepo served as a producer also, while the series pilot was directed by Nisha Ganatra.
Prime Video will debut all eight episodes of the heartfelt comedy on Thursday, February 6th. While we count down the days, check out Clean Slate‘s official trailer below. Share your thoughts in the comment section!
