Issa Rae‘s Emmy-winning series is coming to an end.
Insecure, which Rae created and stars in, is set to conclude with its upcoming fifth season on HBO, set to air sometime later this year.
HBO announced that the upcoming fifth season of
Insecure will be its last season. Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming made the announcement in a statement:
“Issa has turned insecurity into an iconic form of comedy. The show is as incisive as it is heartfelt, and it has resonated strongly with its audience because of the deeply personal work that Issa, Prentice, Melina, the cast and the writers have put into it. This talented team has conceived a brilliant final season for INSECURE and we look forward to having many more stories to tell with this singular group of collaborators.”
Amanda Seales, and
Alexander Hodge are all set to kick off production on the last season later this month, per Complex.
“Prentice [Penny] and I are so grateful that HBO believed in our show from the beginning and kept faith in us to see our vision through the end,” Rae told Deadline. “We always planned to tell this story through five seasons, but we couldn’t have made it this far without the tremendous support of our audience. I feel blessed beyond measure to bring our characters’ stories to an end, on-screen at least.”
The show was partially based on Rae’s online show “Awkward Black Girl,” which ran for two seasons on YouTube.
