Clean Slate Season 1 Gets February 6, 2025 Release Date on Amazon Prime

Clean Slate is a new comedy series from legendary producer, Norman Lear. The show follows Harry Slate (George 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 (Laverne Cox).

Desiree works to repair the fraught relationship with her father, navigating their relationship while contending with vastly different points of view as roommates. They find themselves facing all of the hilarious coming-of-age milestones they missed out on the first time around.

Along the way, Harry’s employee and right-hand man at the car wash, Mack (Jay Wilkison), takes a shine to Desiree. Their flirtation evolves with episode. Desiree’s return as her authentic self turns the church on its head, and puts a strain on her relationship with her closeted best friend and choir director, Louis (D.K. Uzoukwu). Meanwhile, Louis’s mother, Ella (Telma Hopkins) and Harry enjoy a deepening flirtation. Despite some hesitation, Desiree ultimately emboldens Louis to live his truth. Harry and his arch-nemesis neighbor, Miguel (Philip Garcia), battle playfully, while making a few surprising connections in the process. Desiree forms a strong bond with Mack’s enterprising young daughter, Opal (Norah Murphy), who dreams of one day venturing out of Alabama the way Desiree did. Desiree thought her homecoming would be temporary, but her return results in her planting fresh roots, and realizing that there may be space for her in Mobile after all.
