Norman Lear-produced comedy starring Laverne Cox, about an estranged father and daughter in Alabama, comes at an awkward political moment.

Clean Slate” has Cox as Desiree Slate, who returns to her Alabama birthplace after a decades-long absence to confront her carwash operator father Harry Slate (George Wallace) with her gender

Norman Lear was a force of nature in television. His progressive, boundary-breaking comedies—like All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Maude, and One Day at a Time—were never afraid to embrace contemporary issues head-on.

Laverne Cox and George Wallace star in this heartfelt, hilarious father-daughter story. I really love it when streamers tell stories that aren’t carbon copies of what’s come before. That’s why I’m excited for Prime Video’s new comedy series,
