Co-creator of The Matrix franchise Lilly Wachowski has taken to social media to announce that her Showtime original comedy series Work in Progress, co-created with and starring Abby McEnany as a “45-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke,” has been cancelled by the premium cable network. Wachowski revealed that she learned the series wouldn’t be returning in November after the show had wrapped up its second season. She went on to detail how hard it had been to continue the show amid the pandemic, citing “the ability to convey and receive joy and love was acutely missing.” The post-production process got easier as the vaccine rollout began, but she reveals she still had a feeling they wouldn’t return for season three.
Right before the thanksgiving holiday, I got the extremely disappointing news from the execs at Showtime that Work in Progress was not going to be picked up for a third season. It was a major bummer.
