HERE’S EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT SEASON TWO OF ‘WORK IN PROGRESS’!
After almost two years of waiting, Showtime confirms the premiere date of the new season and is set to air on Sunday, August 22, 2021, on Showtime.
The new season finds Abby in the wake of a breakup and begrudgingly accepting that she’s too busy to kill herself. In fact, she’s just starting to get her head above water when a global pandemic forces Abby into uncharted territory.
The show follows Abby, a 45-year-old–self-identified fat, queer dyke–whose misfortune and despair unexpectedly lead her to a vibrantly transformative relationship. Chicago improv mainstay Abby McEnany co-created and stars in this uniquely human comedy series.
Returning this season are Celeste Pechous, Armand Fields, Karin Anglin, Bruce Jarchow, Theo Germaine, and Julia Sweeney. McEnany serves as co-creator as well as co-writer with showrunner and director Lilly Wachowski.
