Yvette Lee Bowser points to Unprisoned — Onyx’s first scripted comedy that stars Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo — as a key example of how far TV has come when it comes to telli…
“We are absolutely making progress,” said Bowser, whose numerous credits include. “I’ve been in the business 35 years. It’s beginning to change. It’s incredibly cathartic and incredibly rewarding to be here to shepherd such a beautiful, fresh story … we as Black writers have been fighting to tell a story. Now we find ourselves in a period of time that we can go deeper, much deeper, why we struggle to love.
The goal of the comedy, says both McMillan and Washington, is to change hearts and minds around people who are impacted by mass incarceration. “There are a number of people who go through that system. You think about the system and how it impacts personal lives,” Washington says. “[Here’s an] opportunity to take a lens and explore these racist institutions and they impact the everyday lie of families, but in a way that is fun and loving.”
McMillan serves as executive producer, along with Bowser . Other exec producers include Joy Gorman Wettels with Anonymous Content, Jen Braeden and Kevin Bray, who directed the first episode.
