Hulu announced on Wednesday, May 8, that the second season of UnPrisoned, will return on July 17. Starring and produced by Kerry Washington and Delroy Linda, as the official press release states:
“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.”
