UnPrisoned, the comedy series starring Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo, was renewed for season two in February, and now Glamour can exclusively reveal that the second season will premiere on Hulu this summer.

The series—which also counts Kerry Washington as an executive producer—is inspired by creator Tracy McMillan’s life and follows single mom, relationship therapist, and social media influencer Paige Alexander (Washington), and her dad, Edwin (Lindo), after he gets out of prison and moves in with Paige and his teenage grandson. The original series launched in March 2023 as Onyx Collective’s most-viewed premiere on Hulu.

And now we can announce that season two will premiere Wednesday, July 17, 2024, on Hulu. The half-hour comedy’s first season consisted of eight episodes, and season two will have the same. As a refresher, here’s a look at the season-one trailer:

Season one ended with Mal (Marque Richardson) bailing Edwin (Delroy Lindo) out of jail after he was driving home with Finn and was wrongly arrested. As a result of the events, Mal and Edwin have a deep conversation about how Edwin’s past has affected Paige’s (Washington) formative years, including the present. And so Edwin decides the time has come for him to move out of his daughter’s home so he can start a life on his own.

In an interview with The Wrap timed to the season-one finale in April 2023, creator McMillan told the outlet that “[Edwin] knows that as long as the roles are reversed, where his daughter is more like the parent and he’s more like the child, it’s not going to work. I feel like he’s the one who is trying to make things right in the end by not living with her, at least for the time being.”

While specific plot details for the new season are hush-hush for now, here’s what we do know about season two, per the official synopsis: “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. The Alexanders 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.”

But that’s not all. Glamour has the exclusive first look images for the new season, which also stars Marque Richardson, Jordyn McIntosh, Faly Rakotohavana, and Jee Young Han in addition to Washington and Lindo. Take a look:

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