Laverne Cox’s ‘Clean Slate’ Canceled on Prime Video

Prime Video has pulled the plug on the Laverne Cox-led series, ‘Clean Slate.’

Full story below…

It has been confirmed by Deadline that the series has been canceled after one season on the streamer.

The project, which served as the last project from Norman Lear, debuted in February and was praised by many for its socially reflective narrative.

‘Slate’ centered on Laverne’s character Desiree, who returns to her hometown as a trans woman and is tasked with navigating a new normal with her father (played by George Wallace).

Speaking on the cancellation, Cox said:

“Of course, we mourn our baby. We mourn for the jobs that disappear with this news. We mourn the continued demise of non-IP creations (for the record, we would’ve gladly thrown some dragons into Harry’s car wash, or made Desiree a secret agent). We mourn full seasons. We mourn Norman, and his bravery, and his not infrequent cursing. We mourn sister projects that face a similar fate. We mourn the characters being scrubbed from storytelling out of fear. “

She continued:

“Thank you to everyone who laughed and cried with us. Thank you to everyone who told us our show was exactly what you needed to see and feel during this dark time. We will be conducting a folksy awards campaign, so keep your eyes peeled for our bake sale. “For Yo’ Momma’s Consideration” ads are being prepared. Conversations will continue about where and how Desiree and Harry’s journey might continue. We would love to further the echo of Norman’s voice. We will push to keep the story alive, for the sake of the kind of people portrayed in it, the kind of people being legislated out of existence, or erased from history books.

It feels like it’s time to fight like hell for nice things. And whatnot.”

With that, what are…
