HBO has officially announced plans for “Insecure,” a half-hour comedy series starring Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis and Lisa Joyce. Queued up for eight episodes, Rae plays the sole black staffer of a Los Angeles community outreach organization. In the first episode, we’re introduced to her bestie, Molly (played by Orji) and her longtime boyfriend, Lawrence (Ellis).
The series is created and executive produced by Rae, who is the author of the web series and book titled, “The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl.” Similar to the her web series, the HBO series follows the personal and professional woes of a single black woman.
The series makes the most of its cool music track with tracks after each episode posted on Spotify (below). We see you, JunglePussy!
“Insecure” airs Sundays at 10:30 PM EST on HBO. Watch the first episode below.
