‘UnPrisoned’ Creator Tracy McMillan Talks Season 2 Cliffhanger And Who She Wants To Play [Spoiler]
deadline.comSPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoliers for the entirety of UnPrisoned Season 2. For UnPrisoned creator Tracy McMillan, the goal of Season 2 of the Hulu and Onyx Collective series was to take the Alexander family from rupture to repair.
In Season 1 of the comedy series, Edwin Alexander (Delroy Lindo) got out of prison after a 17-year sentence for dealing drugs and moved in with his daughter Paige (Kerry Washington), who is a therapist and social media influencer.
Paige had misgivings about letting her father around her teenage son Finneas (Faly Rakotohavana), but they ultimately decided to go for it so that her dad could have the best chance staying out of jail.
The series is based on McMillan’s life experience. “Season 1 was very similar to when my dad first got out of prison and we were encountering each other outside of locks, bars, guards, guns — outside of prison, and that was a completely different thing than how I had known him for the vast majority of my life,” McMillan told TheWrap. “Encountering each other on the outside, was a paradigm change.” After Season 1 ended with Edwin trying to live apart from Paige, Season 2 will bring the family back together to navigate even more layers and themes.
