Work in Progress, the comedy from Abby McEnany and Lilly Wachowski will return for its second season on Sunday. It picks back up with McEnany’s character Abby in the wake of her breakup (and almost out of almonds). A 46-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke, Abby begrudgingly accepts that she’s too busy to kill herself. In fact, she’s just starting to get her head above water… when a global pandemic converges with a family emergency and forces her into uncharted territory. Work in Progress: Sunday, 11pm on Showtime.
The CW’s Supergirl is returns for its final stretch of episodes on Tuesday. The show features several LGBTQ characters in the ensemble, including trans superhero Dreamer. In the premiere, As Supergirl and Zor-El make their return to National City, they are determined to keep the Phantom Zone behind them and enjoy being superheroes together. Unfortunately, their overzealous efforts backfire, creating a whole new threat to National City. Supergirl: Tuesday, 9pm on the CW
