The much-anticipated second season of UnPrisoned is coming to Hulu.

(l-r) Kerry Washington, Faly Rakotohavana, and Delroy Lindo (Hulu)

Starring and executive produced by Kerry Washington, UnPrisoned follows messy but perfectionist relationship therapist, social media influencer, and single mom, Paige Alexander (Kerry Washington), whose life is turned right-side-up when her dad, Edwin Alexander (Delroy Lindo), gets out of prison and moves in with her and her teenage son Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).

Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan’s life, UnPrisoned is rounding out the Season 2 cast with Brandee Evans (P-Valley) in a recurring role, as well as Oliver Hudson (The Cleaning Lady) and Jamie Chung (Lovecraft Country) in guest-starring roles. Season 2 premieres Wednesday, July 17, on Hulu, with all 8 episodes dropping at once.

In Season 2, the Alexander family is still a mess. Paige’s therapy practice is in trouble, Finn’s anxiety is through the roof, Edwin is still figuring out how to get his life together outside of prison, and their relationships are more complicated than ever. The family needs help, and it’s time to call in a professional – OTHER than Paige. They turn to a “family radical healing coach,” who throws out all the rules to free them of the issues, old wounds, and family secrets holding them back.

Evans will play Ava, Mal’s (Marque Richardson) new girlfriend. She just finished law school and is smart and confident but often underestimated. Hudson will play Johnny, Finn’s biological dad. He’s a funny, pretty chill musician and lives in Los Angeles with his wife. Although he hasn’t been a traditional father, he cares about Finn. Chung will play Kiki, Paige’s best friend from college. Twenty years later, Kiki is married, polyamorous, and still the life of the party.

Tracy McMillan, Yvette Lee Bowser, and Kerry Washington executive produce the series alongside Pilar Savone through their Simpson Street production company and Delroy Lindo. Joy Gorman Wettels and Jen Braeden also executive produce. The series is available on Hulu from Onyx Collective and produced by ABC Signature.

Additionally, Washington has renewed her overall deal with ABC Signature for another three years. Under the terms of the deal, she will produce broadcast, cable, and streaming projects for ABC Signature through her Simpson Street banner, which has been with Disney Television Studios since its 2016 launch.
