The series regular cast includes Brett Gray, Punkie Johnson, Roy Wood Jr., and E.J. Bonilla, with Bokeem Woodbine, Bresha Webb, Langston Kerman, and Tiana Okoye recurring.
Barbershop is written and executive produced by Marshall Todd, co-writer of the original Barbershop film. Executive producers also include Max Searle, who serves as co-showrunner, as well as Kevin Hart, Bryan Smiley, and Mike Stein for Hartbeat. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
