Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch the first two Season 2 episodes of the SHOWTIME® original series Work In Progress in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media.

Included as part of this screening experience is a special pre-recorded conversation with co-creator, executive producer, writer and star Abby McEnany; co-stars Celeste Pechous and Tyler Anthony Davis; director Yance Ford; and writer Tien Tran; moderated by Jenn Wilson (Senior Programmer, Film Independent).

The second season of Work In Progress, a half-hour comedy series helmed by Abby McEnany and Lilly Wachowski, picks back up with the character of Abby in the wake of her breakup (and almost out of almonds). Abby, a 46-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke, begrudgingly accepts that she’s too busy to kill herself. In fact, she’s just starting to get her head above water… until a global pandemic converges with a family emergency and forces Abby into uncharted territory.

Work In Progress Season 2 premieres on Sunday, August 22 at 11 pm ET/PT with two back-to-back episodes only on SHOWTIME®.
