'Clean Slate' Canceled By Prime Video After One Season

'Clean Slate,' the last completed TV project from legendary producer Norman Lear, was canceled by Prime Video after a single season, with the decision made by the end of March 2025, only weeks after its February premiere. The comedy, co-created by and starring Laverne Cox and George Wallace, follows a transgender woman returning to her Alabama hometown to reunite with her father, exploring family, acceptance, and trans rights amid heightened anti-trans sentiment in the U.S. The creators expressed disappointment over the cancellation and highlighted the show's seven-year development, cultural relevance, and positive reception, particularly for its representation of marginalized voices. Norman Lear, a champion of socially conscious television, died in 2023 at age 101. The creators also lamented the industry's tendency to cancel original, non-IP-driven series. 'Clean Slate' joins a growing list of shows dropped by Prime Video in 2025, underscoring the streaming sector's volatility.
