‘Clean Slate’ Canceled By Prime Video: Laverne Cox & Creators Talk Labor Of Love, Norman Lear & Lessons Learned
Laverne Cox & George Wallace's Clean Slate has been canceled after one season, but the creators in a guest column say the effort was worth it.
The last completed project involving Norman Lear, the comedy featured Laverne Cox and George Wallace as an estranged daughter and father from Mobile, Alabama trying to reconnect after decades apart amid tensions over trans rights and a changing America. Dan left that meeting feeling he had a sense of Laverne’s voice, which he describes as “a complex stew of insight, grace, and fuck around and find out.” He closed himself in a now-defunct designer latte “shoppe” and penned the spec pilot. Critics called it “A tall glass of sweet tea,” “Norman Lear’s parting gift,” and a “show we need now more than ever.” But by the time audiences saw Laverne’s epic trip down Jennifer Hudson’s dance line, Clean Slate was already toast.
