“The show is about love:” Laverne Cox teases new Prime Video series Clean Slate
Here’s your first look at Laverne Cox’s new series, Clean Slate. Back in 2021, it was announced that the Orange is the New Black star was teaming up with the late legendary producer Norman Lear and actor George Wallace for a new comedy series.
The show – which was initially developed for Peacock in 2020 – follows Desiree Slate (Cox), an out and proud trans woman who returns home to Mobile, Alabama, to reconnect with her estranged father, Harry (Wallace).
However, their family reunion is anything but smooth, with Harry discovering that Desiree isn’t the same child he last saw 23 years ago.
In addition to Cox and Wallace, Clean Slate stars D.K. Uzoukwu as Desiree’s childhood best friend and closeted choir director, Louis; Jay Wilkison as Mack, her dad’s car wash employee; and Norah Murphy as Mack’s 10-year-old daughter.
