After two seasons, the show "UnPrisoned" has been canceled.
As part of the Onyx Collective brand on Hulu, the show was well received. The announcement was made by series star Kerry Washington on her official Instagram account.
“Ladies & Gents, that is a wrap on Unprisoned,” Washington stated. “This beautiful show that we poured so much of our hearts and souls into is unfortunately not coming back for a Season 3. But I wanted you to hear it from me because while we’re super duper disappointed, we’re also crazy deeply grateful.”
“Thank you to ABCS, Hulu & Onyx for giving us a creative home,” she continued. “And most importantly, we are grateful to YOU ALL – for watching, laughing, crying, yelling, dancing, eye-rolling, cheering (and all of the things between) along with us each episode.”
“UnPrisoned” had such an intriguing premise, blending family dynamics with deeper societal themes. The performances by Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo really brought the story to life. It’s impressive that the show maintained a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes—clearly, it struck a chord with both critics and viewers. It’s always a shame when a well-received series doesn’t get the chance to explore its potential further.
It was great to see such a talented team behind “UnPrisoned.” Tracy McMillan and Yvette Lee Bowser have impressive backgrounds in creating compelling narratives, and having Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo as executive producers added an extra layer of depth. The collaboration among these creative minds contributed to the show’s strong reception. It’s a testament to the vision and hard work that went into bringing the story of Paige and her family to life.
