In 2016, Issa Rae’s comedic series Insecure debuted on HBO, sparking an influx of fans and years of social media discourse (we all know where we were during the Season 1 finale). Insecure was Issa’s first TV project after her successful web series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. The Barbie actor played the lead character, Issa Dee, who always kept fans questioning her decisions.
Though it ended in 2021 after five seasons, Insecure remains a part of Black culture. Many of its scenes have become meme gold, and we still don’t know if Issa made the best choice in a partner by the end of the series. Nonetheless, fans have continuously begged Issa to bring the show back or make an Insecure movie, though she’s confirmed she’s not doing either.
