    AceShowbiz – The cast of “Insecure” is saying goodbye soon. On Wednesday, January 13, star and co-creator Issa Rae took to her Twitter account to announce that the hit HBO comedy series will end after its fifth season.
    “Very excited to film our fifth and final season! We couldn’t have told a complete story without the tremendous support of our audience and the faith of @HBO,” Rae wrote on the blue bird app. “See y’all soon! #InsecureHBO.”

    In an interview with Deadline, Rae further said, “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.” The best selling “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl” author continued, “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,” she added.
    The script for season 5 of the Emmy-winning series has been completed that production is set to begin later this month. The new season will premiere on HBO this year, according to the network.
    Based on Rae’s online series “Awkward Black Girl”, “Insecure” is about the trials, tribulations and twists of LA-based Issa Dee (Rae) as she negotiated love, life and friendship. Also starring on the series are Yvonne Orji as Molly Carter, Jay Ellis as Lawrence, Natasha Rothwell as Kelli and Amanda Seales as Tiffany DuBois among others.
    Premiered on September 23, 2016, the series nabbed eight Primetime Emmy Award nominations for its fourth season, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Rae also earned two Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy and two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Orji, meanwhile, was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her performance on the series.

      Issa Rae is adapting a fictional crime mystery featured on her HBO critically-lauded television series for a one-episode podcast show called ‘Looking for LaToya’.
      Jun 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress and writer Issa Rae is tackling a fictional crime mystery in a new podcast special.
      The star and her partners at Raedio have teamed up with HBO bosses and podcast producer Tenderfoot TV for “Looking for LaToya”, a one-episode event based on the true crime series featured in Rae’s hit show “Insecure”.
      In the podcast special, SZA will portray LaToya Thompson, whose disappearance is investigated throughout the show. The satirical special will also feature Ray J, Porsha Williams, and Kandi Burruss-Tucker.
      The characters on “Insecure” often tune in to the fictional true crime series on the show, which was dreamed up by Rae and her co-writers as a commentary on the lack of TV coverage of missing black women.
      A preview of the podcast, which launches on June 14, 2020, is available here.

      Issa Rae Baffled After Donald Trump Liked 'Insecure' Tweet

      by

      As if the possibility of POTUS watching the HBO series, which stars Issa and Jay Ellis among others, is not surprising enough, the tweet marks the only tweet that he likes as of now.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – President Donald Trump is no stranger to sparking controversy with his online activities. Recently, POTUS confused “Insecure” fans as well as star Issa Rae after he liked a tweet someone posted during the show’s latest episode on Sunday, June 7.
      The said tweet was from an account named shiningheaux. Posting a GIF from “The Color Purple” where two characters are sitting in a field of flowers and clapping hands. “This is how I wanted tonight’s episode of insecure to end….Damn Molly,” wrote the user in the caption.
      As if the possibility of Donald watching “Insecure” is not surprising enough, the tweet marks the only tweet that Donald likes as of now. “Holy s**t. Donald Trump watches Insecure?!?!?!” a fan voiced his surprise while tagging Issa’s account. Catching wind of the post, Issa responded, “what the f**k is this.”
      Also chiming in on the matter was Issa’s “The Lovebirds” co-star Kumail Nanjiani. “Well I found one thing I have in common with him: we’re both big fans of @IssaRae,” he tweeted, referring to Donald Trump. Issa replied to the tweet, writing, “Kumail.”
      Fans were equally baffled with Trump’s recent Twitter activity. “He saw two black People in the field and liked it,” one said on Instagram. Another one suggested that the president had been “out his orange mind.”
      “Yoooo what is wrong with this man,” a confused user wrote. Either way, a person alluded that despite the controversial things surrounding him, “the man knows good TV.”
      This arrived after Trump once again drew the ire of public after mentioning George Floyd during his speech about jobs. In his speech on Friday, June 5, Trump suggested that Georg must be happy in heaven now.
      “Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country,” he said. “This is a great day for him, it’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality.”
      Some news outlets, however, falsely reported that Trump suggested George must be happy in heaven because the number of unemployment dropped, while he actually mentioned the late 46-year-old African-American man when talking about the importance of equality in policing. That prompted some internet users to criticize him, with one of them calling him “despicable.”
