In addition to confirming her return in the second season of UnPrisoned, Washington also renewed her overall deal with ABC Signature. Tracy Underwood, the EVP of creative affairs at ABC Signature said they’re excited to continue their collaboration.

“Kerry is the gold standard for what a multihyphenate should be— passionate, prolific, and endlessly kind. She, Pilar, and the Simpson Street team are incredible collaborators… We look forward to many more years of their unparalleled creativity and talent,” said Underwood in a statement.

24-7 is based on a script by Sarah Rothschild. It tells the story of a group of female accountants who band together against a group of male co-workers to solve a fraud case that will save their jobs.
