Watch UnPrisoned Season 2 Online: Synopsis
Kerry Washington (Scandal) returned for season 2 of the hit Hulu comedy, delighting as perfectionist therapist Paige Alexander, whose ex-con father Edwin saddled her with some pretty serious daddy issues. In this outing, the Alexanders are seeking help from “radical healing coach” Murphy (John Stamos), whose unconventional approach might be what their family needs to heal and grow. Bold, heartfelt, and hilarious, our guide below explains how to watch UnPrisoned Season 2 online.
UnPrisoned was one of the most-watched Hulu Originals of 2023. Produced by the Disney-owned Onyx Collective, the comedy-drama saw Edwin (Delroy Lindo) move in with his daughter and her son after two decades in prison. Their journey to reconciliation is laced with humor and heartbreak, with Paige’s conscience-stricken inner voice realized in amusing flights of fancy, like imagined conversations with her six-year-old self (Jordyn McIntosh).
After Edwin’s wrongful arrest reignited Paige’s abandonment issues, Season 2 sees the family striving to become their best selves. Paige’s romantic life has been a train wreck – Bill dumped her and she couldn't commit to case worker Mal (Marque Richardson) – while her son Finn (Faly Rakotohavana) is grappling with anxiety. That’s where John Stamos (You, Full House), providing a blast of irreverent energy, comes in. Playing self-declared “radical healing coach” Murphy, he's trying to help Paige, Edwin, and Finn climb out of their emotional quagmires.
Washington and Lindo's performances have received nothing but praise, while Variety called the show a “heartfelt comedy about one family’s piece of the Black experience.” Critics are praising the sophomore outing as ever better, particularly how deftly the show balances it's humor and heart.
