Turner\u2019s TNT will premiere new\u00a0series \u201cClaws\u201d<\/strong> starring Niecy Nash<\/strong> this summer on June 11. Janine Sherman Barrois is executive producer and will serve as showrunner for the series.<\/p>\n

With Will McCormack<\/strong> also serving as an\u00a0executive producer as well, the cast also includes Carrie Preston, Harold Perrineau, Jenn Lyon, Judy Reyes, Jack Kesy, Karrueche Tran, Kevin Rankin<\/strong> and Jason Antoon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The pilot was written by series co-executive producer Eliot Laurence<\/strong> and directed by Nicole Kassell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cmidnight-dark, wickedly funny meditation on female badness set in a South Florida nail salon,\u201d the series is executive produced by Rashida Jones, and follows the rise of five diverse and treacherous manicurists working at the Nail Artisan of Manatee County salon, where there is a lot more going on than silk wraps and pedicures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a show with great storytelling featuring empowered female characters and brought to life by a diverse group of incredibly talented individuals both in front of and behind the camera,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Sarah Aubrey, EVP Original Programming for TNT, said upon\u2019s the show\u2019s 10-episode pickup.<\/p>\n

At the center is salon owner Desna (played by Niecy Nash<\/strong>), who lives with and cares for her mentally ill twin brother, Dean (played by Harold Perrineau<\/strong>). Desna\u2019s staff includes best friend Jennifer (Jenn Lyon<\/strong>), a tenuously sober ex-party girl raising two children from previous relationships; Quiet Ann (Judy Reyes<\/strong>), Desna\u2019s enigmatic driver who also provides security for the salon; Polly (Carrie Preston), a mild-mannered preppy who recently served time in prison for identity theft; and Virginia (Karrueche Tran<\/strong>), who makes no effort to hide her boredom and impatience with her job.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding chaos to the Nail Artisan mix is Roller (Jack Kesy<\/strong>), a gangstered-out redneck who runs a barely legal pain clinic and uses Desna\u2019s nail salon to launder their obscene profits; Bryce (Kevin Rankin<\/strong>), Jennifer\u2019s husband who is also newly sober and trying to stay legit by working as an abundance coach; and Dr. Ken Brickman (Jason Antoon<\/strong>), a bona fide doctor at a decidedly un-bona fide and illegal drug clinic.<\/p>\n
