Phoebe Robinson and Dewayne Perkins’ barber/beauty shop sitcom Chopped & Screwed is in development at ABC. Perkins will also star in the multi-camera sitcom comedy.

The series is set in a Black barbershop and beauty salon that, due to unavoidable circumstances, must come together as one entity to continue servicing the superficial and therapeutic needs of their customers and community.

Robinson and Perkins will write and exec produce. ABC Signature, where Robinson has an overall deal, is producing in association with Robinson’s Tiny Reparations and LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill Company.
