Y’all. It is HARD being a fan of TV shows on streaming services. That’s because it seems like every time you get into a new show, the streaming service turns around and cancels it.

It’s especially frustrating when a show gets canceled after one season (Disney+, we’re looking at you because we’re STILL mad about The Acolyte). Well, if you were a fan of the Clean Slate series on Amazon, we’ve got a bit of bad news about it. According to Variety, Clean Slate has been canceled…yep, after just one season.
Yes, Clean Slate got one season and now it’s officially gone. The show originally premiered in February (which means it wasn’t given a lot of time to find its audience) and starred Laverne Cox, George Wallace, Jay Wilkison, D.K. Uzoukwu, Telma Hopkins, Philip Garcia, and Norah Murphy. What makes this cancelation even sadder is that this was the last series produced by Norman Lear before his death in 2023.

The series “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).” The series was co-created by both Wallace and Cox.
What’s even more disappointing is that the series received pretty good reviews with an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. But as we’ve seen with previous shows, critical reviews don’t equal audience views, although it could be argued that many streaming series really aren’t given enough time to find those viewers.
