‘Clean Slate’ Canceled After One Season at Amazon
Amazon has canceled the comedy series “Clean Slate” after one season, Variety has confirmed.
The show originally debuted on Prime Video in February. It starred Laverne Cox, George Wallace, Jay Wilkison, D.K. Uzoukwu, Telma Hopkins, Philip Garcia, and Norah Murphy. It bears the distinction of being the last completed series produced by the legendary Norman Lear before his death in 2023.
The logline for the show states that it “follows Harry Slate (Wallace), an old-school and outspoken Alabama car wash owner, who has a lot of soul searching to do when the estranged child he thought was a son returns home to Mobile as a proud, trans woman, Desiree (Cox).”
Wallace and Cox co-created the series with Dan Ewen. All three served as executive producers along with Lear, Brent Miller, and Simran Baidwan. Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios produced.
The show had a long route to the screen. It was originally reported to be in development at Peacock in 2020, before it moved over to Amazon’s IMDB TV (later Freevee) in 2021. It was picked up to series in 2022, and was then moved to Prime Video after Amazon shut Freevee down.
