If you’ve been missing your weekly dose of Issa, Molly, Kelli and Tiffany, there’s some good news on the horizon. Insecure creator and star, Issa Rae, told ET that a spinoff of her widely acclaimed HBO series is looking far more likely than ever before. But don’t get too excited, fans — the actress hasn’t written anything down in stone yet.
ET spoke with Rae at the premiere of her new comedy series, Rap Sh!t, and asked for updates on the oft-teased-about spinoff of the Emmy-nominated series that ended in December.
“I’m thinking about it, I’ve been ruminating for a while now and I haven’t sat down to put pen to paper,” Rae shared, adding that she was taking her time to let people “miss the show.”
“I don’t want it to be like, ‘B**ch, you just finished, why are we having this?'” she went on. “I just want to make sure it’s right as opposed to just doing it, so I’m thinking about it, but nothing set in stone yet.”
Insecure ended its reign on HBO after five seasons and 44 episodes, with an ending that Rae, showrunner Prentice Penny and the cast, including Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis and others, said allowed them to close out on their own terms.
“I mean, this is a journey of growth,” Rae told ET about her character’s on-screen evolution. “So, if Issa’s in the same place as she was in season 1, then we failed.”
