At the end of the season, Edwin's case worker Mal, has a frank conversation with him about the impact that his past actions have had on his daughter's life, especially during her formative years. Edwin then decides to move out from his daughter's house and rebuild his life without having to depend on her.

The upcoming season will further explore the Alexander family’s deep-rooted issues. The official synopsis of UnPrisoned season 2 by Hulu reads:

"The Alexander family is still a mess. Paige’s therapy practice is in trouble, Finn’s anxiety is through the roof, Edwin is still figuring out how to get his life together outside of prison, and their relationships are more complicated than ever."

"The family needs help, and it’s time to call in a professional–other than Paige. The Alexanders turn to a ‘family radical healing coach,’ who throws out all the rules to free them of the issues, old wounds, and family secrets holding them back."
