Showtime’s new series Work In Progress stars Abby McEnany, who also serves as co-creator, in this funny and uniquely human comedy.
According to the official synopsis, Work In Progress follows “Abby who is a 45-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke whose misfortune and despair unexpectedly lead her to a vibrantly transformative relationship. Chicago improv mainstay Abby McEnany co-created and stars.”
Chicago-based performers Theo Germaine (The Politician) and Karin Anglin co-star alongside Celeste Pechous, with Julia Sweeney (Saturday Night Live, Shrill) appearing in a crucial role as herself.
Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix, Sense8) will co-write the first season and executive produce with Abby McEnany and Tim Mason. SHOWTIME acquired the project after its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it was an official selection of the Indie Episodic program.
Work In Progress premiers December 8th on Showtime with eight half-hour episodes.
