Get ready for a star-studded lineup as Prime Video's 'Barbershop' series brings together an incredible cast! The iconic barbershop setting is back, and this time, it's not just about the haircuts.
'Barbershop', inspired by the beloved MGM movies, is set to showcase an ensemble of talented actors and comedians. Among them are Saturday Night Live veterans Ego Nwodim and Devon Walker, along with the hilarious Ziwe and the versatile Tituss Burgess. But here's where it gets exciting: they're joined by Zack Fox, Diallo Riddle, and a host of other comedic talents.
The series revolves around Travis 'Trav' Porter, played by Jermaine Fowler, who aims to carry on his grandfather's legacy at the legendary 'Calvin's' barbershop in Chicago. And let me tell you, this barbershop is more than just a place for a trim; it's a community hub where lively debates and unique personalities come together.
But who are these talented individuals portraying? Well, prepare to meet some memorable characters: Zack Fox steps into the role of Alderman Warren, while Ego Nwodim brings Shelly-Ann to life. Diallo Riddle takes on the role of Pastor Devante, and Ziwe portrays the enigmatic Abbi. Tituss Burgess transforms into Juan Grillz, and Comedian CP embodies Marvin. Devon Walker introduces us to Southside Swole, and Belmont Cameli plays Shep. It's a diverse and dynamic cast!
In addition to Fowler, the series regulars include Brett Gray, Punkie Johnson, Roy Wood Jr., and E.J. Bonilla. The recurring cast features Bokeem Woodbine, Bresha Webb, Langston Kerman, and Tiana Okoye. A true ensemble, right?
The creative team behind this project is just as impressive. Marshall Todd, co-writer of the original 'Barbershop' movie, takes the lead as writer and executive producer. He's joined by a talented group, including Max Searle, Kevin Hart, and their respective production teams. Tiffany Brown also joins as a co-executive producer.
As for the cast's representation, it's a who's who of top agencies: WME, CAA, Ocean Avenue, UTA, and more. Each talent is backed by a powerhouse team.
'Barbershop' promises to be a hilarious and heartwarming series, offering a unique take on community and the power of storytelling.
