Amazon Prime Video has ordered Barbershop, starring Jermaine Fowler (Ricky Stanicky), to series.
Marshall Todd (Woke), who wrote the original Barbershop’s screenplay, is writing and executive producing the series; Max Searle (Dave) is set as co-showrunner and executive producer. The Barbershop series will be produced by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat (he’s among the executive producers), Prominent Productions, State Street Pictures and Amazon MGM Studios.
The television adaptation of the Barbershop movie franchise revolves around Travis “Trav” Porter (Fowler), who is following in the footsteps of his grandfather, a legendary barber at the iconic “Calvin’s” barbershop in Chicago. And though “the barbers are new, the shop remains just as lively, the customers just as argumentative and the fades are still the dopest in the city — because at Calvin’s, the community comes together for way more than just a haircut,” the logline reads.
