No Season 3 for the cable comedy.
January 27, 2022
Word is out that Showtime has cancelled Work in Progress after two seasons. Executive producer Lilly Wachowski took to Twitter with the news, writing a series of posts expressing her disappointment that the comedy was not getting picked up.
The half-hour series premiered in 2019 and has garnered a healthy amount of praise from both critics and viewers. It is also currently nominated for a 2022 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Unfortunately, it was one of the cable network's lowest-rated series, and its audience numbers in Season 2 did not warrant a renewal.
Co-created and written by Abby McEnany, Work in Progress follows Abby, who is played by McEnany in a semi-autobiographical role, a 45-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke with OCD whose despair and bad luck unexpectedly finds her in a new and vibrantly-transformative relationship with a young trans guy.
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.

Woke work is perpetually in progress. Sorry pretenders. Her job is never done.
