The final four episodes from season two of LAUREN, starring Troian Bellisario and Jennifer Beals, post tonight, May 17 on WIGS (www.youtube.com/wigs).

This week, Major Milgram (Bradley Whitford) discusses his psychological evaluation of Lauren (Bellisario) with Major Stone (Beals), which leads to a difficult decision regarding Lauren's place in the army. Lauren questions if Milgram's decision is more important than seeking justice. Guest star Mykelti Williamson ("Justified," "24," "Forrest Gump") joins the series as General Prince.

Although a fictional story, Lauren is a brutally honest portrayal of the obstacles that victims of sexual assault experience while serving in the military. The series is directed by WIGS co-creator Jon Avnet ("BLACK SWAN," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Risky Business") and written by Writers Guild of America Award nominee Jay Rodan and Avnet. It also stars Raymond Cruz ("Major Crimes"), Sean Harmon ("NCIS") and Justine Ezarik (YouTube channel iJustine), as well as Sarah Jones ("Vegas," "Alcatraz"), who will be reprising her self-titled role as a military veteran from WIGS series KENDRA.
