Turner\u2019s TNT have released some photos to its new\u00a0series \u201cClaws,\u201d<\/strong> which is slated to launch across TNT’s television, mobile and digital platforms on Sunday, June 11, at 9 p.m.<\/strong> (ET\/PT).<\/p>\n

Niecy Nash, Carrie Preston, Harold Perrineau, Jenn Lyon, Judy Reyes, Karrueche Tran, Jason Antoon, Kevin Rankin, Jack Kesy<\/strong> and Dean Norris<\/strong> star in the hour-long dramedy.<\/p>\n

Claws is executive-produced by Rashida Jones<\/strong>, Will McCormack<\/strong>, Janine Sherman Barrois<\/strong>, who also serves as showrunner, and director Howard Deutch<\/strong>.\u00a0 Creator and co-executive producer Eliot Laurence<\/strong>\u00a0wrote the pilot, which was directed by Nicole Kassell<\/strong>. Claws is produced by Jones and McCormack’s Le Train Train, in association with Warner Horizon Television and Turner’s Studio T<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cmidnight-dark, wickedly funny meditation on female badness set in a South Florida nail salon,\u201d\u00a0the series 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

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)<\/strong>, 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’s nail salon to launder their obscene profits; Bryce (Kevin Rankin<\/strong>), Jennifer’s husband who is also newly sober and trying to stay legit by working as an abundance coach; Dr. Ken Brickman (Jason Antoon<\/strong>), a bona fide doctor at a decidedly un-bona fide drug clinic; and Uncle Daddy (Dean Norris<\/strong>), a dangerous Dixie Mafia crime boss who is deeply Catholic and actively bisexual.<\/p>\n
