The Matrix co-creator Lilly Wachowski has criticised industry executives for delivering empty diversity and inclusion promises. On 27 January, Showtime announced that it cancelled its popular queer comedy, Work in Progress.

The series, which had two seasons, has been praised by critics for its exploration of mental health and the LGBTQ+ community.

Shortly after the news, Wachowski took to social media to air out her grievances regarding the cancellation. “Right before the Thanksgiving holiday, I got the extremely disappointing news from the execs at Showtime that Work in Progress was not going to be picked up for a third season,” she wrote.

She then revealed that filming for the second season was “extremely difficult” due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “The masks made the experience very antiseptic to me – the intimacy – the ability to convey and receive joy and love was acutely missing,” she explained.
