The fourth and final season of TNT’s Claws will premiere on Dec. 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The dark comedy follows Niecy Nash-Betts’ Desna Simms, who, alongside her crew of manicurists from the Nail Artisans of Manatee County salon, rises to power in the crime world to claim her share of cash and respect. Co-stars include Carrie Preston, Judy Reyes, Karrueche Tran, Jenn Lyon, Kevin Rankin, Jason Antoon, Harold Perrineau, and Dean Norris.
“Over the seasons the friendships have deepened and the character of Polly has deepened thanks to the support of the women around her that helped her through some tough times and brought her to a stronger place,” said Carrie Preston of her character during TNT’s CTAM panel on Thursday. “She has more confidence. She’s still going to con her way through things but at least she’s got the support of her friends.”

“Virginia started off as a stripper and the main thing about her has been her growth and her maturity,” Tran shared. “Towards the end of the season, she starts to get into the business side of things and really starts to become a grown-up. All while seeing all these layers pulled back and you’ll learn more about who she is and where she’s from. She’s also still looking for love but also finding the love within herself.”
Tran was also trying not to reveal too much about Virginia’s special abilities but she revealed a little teaser regarding what’s ahead.
“I don’t want to spoil it but this is something we had a conversation about with the writers,” she said. “I will say it’s something that I really wanted to keep…You’re going to have to watch season 4.”
Jennifer Lyon also looked back on how her character Jen has come since the series premiere and where she’s headed now.
“For Jen, in the beginning, she was so ‘ride or die,’ and as the series progressed, she realized that riding or dying shouldn’t be the only two choices,” Lyon shared. “Is there something in the middle where I could live a life with my family safe, stay sober, love my girlfriends? Her journey of, ‘Can I be a saint in the city?’ continues to progress and at the end of the season you get the answer to that.”
Claws is executive produced by Janine Sherman Barrois, Rashida Jones, Will McCormack, series creator Eliot Laurence, and showrunners Sharon Lee Watson and Emily Silver. The series is produced for TNT by Jones and McCormack’s Le Train Train in association with Warner Bros. Television.
