To say “Insecure” creator and star Issa Rae has been keeping busy while sheltering in place due to the coronavirus pandemic is an understatement.
“We just locked the finale which means, you know, we finished the sound mix I think last week. I think we officially submitted it and then we started the writers room (for Season 5) last week as well, so we are in it,” Rae explained, joining the “Variety After-Show,” presented by Nat Geo. “It feels really good to be back.

How soon is now, is now, and the neon painted landscape strokes to the club beat. That night was more than a sweaty crowded dance floor your friends dragged you to—criminally packed bodies bumping, tossed together—searching for one another.
Kumail Nanjiani teams with Issa Rae and re-teams with his The Big Sick director for a madcap black comedy, now streaming on a Netflix near you.
Lana Del Rey was heavily criticised earlier this week after she shared a lengthy Instagram post ranting about female musicians of colour, including Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Cardi B, getting more mainstream success than her in the music industry.
Issa Rae is proud of Kumail Nanjiani. During her virtual visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, the Insecure star recalled witnessing the early stages of her The Lovebirds' co-star's shocking fitness transformation, admitting that she's "extremely jealous" of his new physique.
Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae are a quarreling couple out to solve a murder, but the first movie directed by Michael Showalter since "The Big Sick" is a crime comedy that aims lower than it thinks.
