'Cedric's Barber Battle' Reality TV Competition Sets Premiere Date On The CW

The country's best barbers will battle it out Friday, April 17 on The CW. Who will be crowned and who will get clipped?

'Cedric's Barber Battle' is an all-new reality competition series hosted by actor and comedian Cedric The Entertainer, sets out to capture the unique culture that exists in barbering communities across the country.

The barbers go head-to-head in a hilariously unfiltered, no-holds-barred arena. Creating hair sculptures that feature elaborate designs, ranging from images of a person's face to grand cityscapes, the barbers will use nothing more than their clippers and a few coloring tools to create intricate works of art that are both imaginative and location-centric.

The judging panel includes Lena Piccininni, Rich the Barber, Bashan "B.G. Cutta" Gibbs and Curtis Smith.
