UnPrisoned is Onyx Collective’s inaugural comedy series. Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan’s life, the series follows a messy but perfectionist relationship therapist and single mom, Paige Alexander (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).
The series also stars Jordyn McIntosh (Little Paige) and Marque Richardson (Mal Kennedy).
UnPrisoned is executive produced by Tracy McMillan, Yvette Lee Bowser (who also serves as showrunner), Kerry Washington alongside Pilar Savone through their Simpson Street production company, and Delroy Lindo. Joy Gorman Wettels, Jen Braeden and Kevin Bray also executive produce. The series hails from Onyx Collective on Hulu and is produced by ABC Signature.
