After nine absolutely entertaining episodes of Sprung, which debuted on Amazon Freevee on August 19, 2022, with two episodes released weekly afterward, fans anticipated the comedy’s return for another run. Even series creator Greg Garcia, who wrote and directed the show, remained hopeful in the summer of 2023 as he was still “waiting to see if Amazon wants to do more.” Unfortunately, it has now been confirmed via TVLine that Sprung will not be back for Season 2.

Led by Garret Dillahunt and set in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Sprung followed Jack, who, after spending nearly three decades in prison, is released and has to figure out where he will now live. He’s hell-bent on not getting back into a life of crime, but that poses a problem when his former cellmate, Rooster, offers him a room at his mother, Barb's, house, on the condition that Jack joins their criminal enterprise.

When news broke on Friday afternoon that Amazon wouldn’t be making a second season of the comedy Clean Slate, media reaction hovered between two viable extremes: “Amazon Cancels Show We Never Knew Existed” and “Amazon Canceled Norman Lear’s Kinda-Final Show.”

I can understand both approaches. Despite the presence of stars Laverne Cox and George Wallace, Lear’s posthumous credit was the highest-profile thing Clean Slate had going for it, and despite all of those elements, I never heard anybody mention Clean Slate out in the wild. It was an invisible show in a landscape that too frequently renders all but the biggest titles invisible.

For me, though, the abrupt end of Clean Slate represented the end of a different, less-heralded era: that of Freevee’s half-hour development, one of the most creatively interesting and commercially botched pieces of brand-building in recent memory.

Freevee, the ad-supported branch of Amazon...

Amazon's Prime Video has cemented its name among the most successful streaming services, with a diverse set of original projects, whether films or TV series. However, after recently canceling Bosch: Legacy, the streamer has now canceled yet another show.

The comedy sitcom Clean Slate premiered on Feb. 6 to positive reviews. It was co-created by Laverne Cox (Orange Is the New Black) and George Wallace (Batman Forever), who also starred in the sitcom. However, despite the positive reviews, Deadline officially confirmed Prime Video axed Clean Slate after one season.

Cox, Wallace, and co-creator Dan Ewen confirmed the news in a guest column on the outlet, detailing the show's origins and further details about the show. Clean Slate was one of the last series veteran producer Norman Lear produced before his death in 2023, as the series had been originally announced in January 2020 by Peacock. Development took several years, moving from Peacock to...

Amazon has canceled the comedy series “Clean Slate” after one season, Variety has confirmed.

The show originally debuted on Prime Video in February. It starred Laverne Cox, George Wallace, Jay Wilkison, D.K. Uzoukwu, Telma Hopkins, Philip Garcia, and Norah Murphy. It bears the distinction of being the last completed series produced by the legendary Norman Lear before his death in 2023.

The logline for the show states that it “follows Harry Slate (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 (Cox).”

Wallace and Cox co-created the series with Dan Ewen. All three served as executive producers along with Lear, Brent Miller, and Simran Baidwan. Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios produced.

The show had a long route to the screen. It...

The heartfelt comedy is produced by Norman Lear’s Act III Productions.

Start anew with “Clean Slate.” Produced by the late great Norman Lear’s Act III Productions, the heartfelt comedy stars legendary comedian George Wallace and four-time Emmy nominee Laverne Cox as a father and daughter who try to get it right the second time when they reunite after 17 years. It’s a difficult time in the country (and world) for trans people, to say the least, and “Clean Slate,” which combines trans joy and unconditional love with Lear’s classic style, is the perfect show for the moment. Watch all eight episodes of “Clean Slate” on Feb. 6 with a subscription to Prime Video.

How to Watch ‘Clean Slate’ When: Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. Et Where: Prime Video Stream: Watch with a subscription to Prime Video. From anywhere: Watch with a subscription to a Vpn. Everything you...

The first episode of this new Prime Video comedy is preceded by a quote from its late, great executive producer, sitcom giant Norman Lear: “The laughter I’ve enjoyed most is laughter that has brought numbers of us together.”

This is both an admirable sentiment and an easy one for Lear to have had. In the 1970s, when issues-oriented Lear comedies like All in the Family, The Jeffersons, and Maude dominated both the ratings and critics’ lists, Lear was able to bring together Americans from all walks of life,...

If you follow the human interest verticals of your news sources, you spent last year reading about children choosing to go “no contact” with their parents. Some TV creators must have had familial estrangement on their minds well before that, because 2025 has kicked off with this story being foundational to multiple new sitcoms. In Going Dutch, a father is thrown back into the life of the daughter who went no contact with him three years ago; they’re both in the military, and the father’s commanding officer knows about their tense relationship and is intentionally messing with him. In Shifting Gears, a daughter descends on her father after their contact with each other tapered off upon the death of her mother; the daughter’s marriage is falling apart, and she and her children need somewhere to live. Now, in Clean Slate, a father receives an email from the person...

Clean Slate Season 1 (February 6) Credit – Prime Video

Clean Slate is an upcoming comedy series created by Laverne Cox, Dan Ewen, and George Wallace. The Prime Video series follows Harry, an Alabama car wash owner who is shocked to discover that his estranged son has now transitioned into a proud trans woman when she comes to his door. Clean Slate stars Laverne Cox, Jay Wilkison,...

Clean Slate is a new comedy series on Prime, and is one of the final shows executive produced by the legendary Norman Lear. The show stars Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black) as Desiree, a proud trans woman, who returns home to Alabama, where her estranged father, Harry (played by George Wallace), is an 'old school' owner of a local car wash.

The series will follow Desiree and Harry as they rebuild their relationship following several years of estrangement. While the show is most certainly heartfelt, there are plenty of comedic moments and a strong cast of supporting characters, including Jay Wilkison (Rabbit Hole) as Mack and Phillip Garcia (Sprung) as Miguel, along with Telma Hopkins, D.K. Uzoukwu, and others.

Here is the official synopsis of the show:

This heartfelt Norman Lear comedy follows Harry (George Wallace), an old-school car wash owner in Alabama who has a lot of...

The Motion Picture Academy has reached out to its members to assure them that AMPAS is still committed to its work in collection and film preservation, even amid the recent layoffs that impacted its library and archival staff.

Late last month, AMPAS let go of 16 staffers, including 14 from the Academy Film Archive and Margaret Herrick Library. Among those let go was Mike Pogorzelski, the head of the film archive. The restructuring sparked some outcry, including a petition from a film preservation group called Missing Movies demanding the staffers be re-hired, as well as the cancellation of an event for Home Movie Day that was meant to take place at the Academy Museum later this month.

Academy CEO Bill Kramer however in a note to members, and obtained by IndieWire, said regarding the changes to the collections and preservation teams at the archive, museum, and library, “please know that we are...

"He's being charged with a crime he committed in another life!" Is this the future we're headed towards? Filmmaker Mitch Glass has unveiled his latest short film called Canary, which seems to be a "canary in the coal mine" reference. This low key sci-fi drama is about what will happen when DNA sequencing gets even better. After submitting his DNA to an ancestry company, Paul Dunn is arrested and charged with a crime that was committed decades before his birth. "It's a little conspiracy / sci-fi / thriller that we shot last year," Mitch explains. Starring Isabella Ward, Nathan Hunt, Phillip Garcia, & Micavrie Amaia. This kind of future is actually closer than most might think, as DNA alteration is already a reality – what we do with this tech is still being figured out. "Are we supposed to accept this & not question it?" A very good question. // Continue Reading ›...

Sprung, a quirky comedy, follows formerly incarcerated Jack who is determined to make up for his lost years by using his powers for good as he enters back into the world at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Phillip Garcia, who plays Rooster, Clare Gillies, who plays Wiggles and James Earl, who plays Melvin, recently sat for a conversation with uInterview founder Erik Meers where they discussed their favorite moments this season.

“A good [show creator] Greg Garcia comedy always has some good fart jokes,” Garcia said. “There are definitely a few Rooster fart jokes and they happen in moments where you’re not really expecting it and they kind of come out of nowhere. That’s kind of what a fart does!”

“People act like they don’t fart no more! You still fart, people!” Earl cut in jokingly.

“I just farted right now!” Garcia quipped.

“Rooster and I have a...

America is full of inequalities, and most of them have been amplified since Covid-19 arrived. Oxfam reports that 99 percent of the world’s income fell in 2020, while the Earth’s 10 richest men saw their fortunes more than double. Underpaid essential workers toiled while white collar workers bought dumb shit online and worked at home in sweatpants, and 70 (70! It’s a lot!) congresspeople were caught dumping stocks before the rest of America really learned how bad Covid was about to get. It’s a fucked up system, and sometimes, it seems like there’s really no legit way out of it.

All of that is certainly considered in “Sprung,” the new Amazon Freevee series from “Yes, Dear,” “My Name Is Earl,” and “Raising Hope” creator Greg Garcia. The show’s 10 episodes follow three ex-cons released early because of Covid, who are promptly (and unceremoniously) dropped into society. Jack (Garret Dillahunt) spent...

In the sixth episode of Greg Garcia’s new Freevee comedy Sprung, two characters, while seemingly stealing a truck of valuable art, have a conversation about the Jimmy Buffett musical Escape to Margaritaville. The episode ends with the playing of a full song from said musical; it’s the sort of creative choice that would seem utterly random if you didn’t know that Garcia co-wrote Escape to Margaritaville.

Garcia wrote and directed every episode of Sprung and Garcia is the Rosetta Stone through which almost every second of Sprung can be understood or interpreted. Trying to figure out where you recognize a random supporting actor from? Chances are good that you remember them from a Garcia show. Scratching your head about why a comic cadence, pop-culture reference or piece of kitschy production design feels familiar? Odds are that it’s similar to something from a Garcia show.

No one gets out of jail free in Greg Garcia’s quirky, heartfelt comedy Sprung, about underdog inmates granted early release from a state co-ed prison at the pandemic’s onset. Bonus: It reunites Hope leads Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton. Dillahunt plays smart, earnest Jack, jailed 26 years on a trumped-up drug charge and now bunking with dim-but-loyal Rooster (Phillip Garcia) at the not-so-big house of the guy’s daft criminal mom Barb (Plimpton). Another roomie: Jack’s would-be lockup girlfriend Gloria (Shakira Barrera). Barb demands they join her crime family, but Jack balks. “He makes a deal that he’ll help if they rob people doing bad things during the pandemic,” says Dillahunt. Their main target: an insider stock trader and congresswoman (Kate Walsh). Says Greg Garcia, “They’ve all been kicked aside by society. They slowly become a family — and they’re going after ‘the man.’” Sprung, Series Premiere,...

Sprung is coming soon to Amazon Freevee. The free streaming service has set a premiere date for the new comedy series from Greg Garcia. Starring Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton (who both starred in Garcia's Raising Hope series), Phillip Garcia, Shakira Barrera, James Earl, and Clare Gillies, the show follows an “unlikely group of formerly incarcerated people who band together to use their criminal expertise for good.”

Sometimes the right crew, with the right skills, is all you need to do some good in the world. At least, that’s what the trailer for Greg Garcia’s upcoming Amazon Freevee comedy Sprung tells us. When non-violent inmates are released from prison due to Covid, Jack (Garret Dillahunt) is just one of several facing a dilemma with a shelter-in-place order: Where is he going to live? Rooster (Phillip Garcia) offers up his mother Barb’s (Martha Plimpton) house. But, as she warns those she takes in, “You’re living under my roof, you’ll have to earn your keep. You can join my crew.” Jack argues, “I just spent 26 years in prison and I’m not going back.” He soon changes his tune, but he refuses to rob anyone unless they did something bad.

Martha Plimpton (Generation) is set for a season-long arc on Sprung, IMDb TV’s new single-camera comedy, in a recasting. The series hails from My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope and The Guest Book creator Greg Garcia, 3 Arts and Amazon Studios.

She will play Rooster’s mom Barb, replacing Ileana Douglas, who originally was cast in the role. The decision to recast was made due to a creative change to the character.

Sprung reunites Plimpton with Dillahunt and EP Garcia, with whom she worked on Raising Hope, for which she earned an Emmy nomination.
