Kerry Washington was absent from the premiere of the second season of “UnPrisoned”. The leading actress has been infected with Corona.
Kerry Washington (47) missed the premiere of the second season of “UnPrisoned” due to a corona infection. The US actress announced this on Tuesday (July 16). Instead of being on site on the red carpet in New York, the lead actress of the series celebrated at home.
“Not sure what’s worse”
In addition to the illness, she is also worried about missing something at the event. “I’m not sure what’s worse right now, COVID or FOMO,” the actress continues. Her frustration is also expressed in the picture shared with the message: The 47-year-old buries her head in her hands.
From her home, Washington sends her support to the rest of the cast of the dramedy series. “I love our ‘UnPrisoned’ family so much,” she enthuses. She is very sad that she cannot celebrate the “fantastic cast and crew” in person and has already “shed far too many tears.” Nevertheless, she is happy about the start of the season: “I am incredibly proud and excited for season 2!”
Second season will be released on July 17
For her private celebration, Washington made herself comfortable with a large bowl of popcorn and a glass of cranberry juice. Like all fans, she will watch the show today, Wednesday (July 17) on the streaming platform “Hulu,” she added. In “UnPrisoned,” the actress plays the therapist and single mother Paige Alexander. Delroy Lindo (71) plays her husband Edwin Alexander, who is released from prison after 17 years and moves in with her and her son.
In addition to her main role, Washington is on board as one of the executive producers. The first season of the series was released in March of last year. In November 2023, the show will get a second season.
