Comedy Series ‘Insecure’, created by and starring Issa Rae, debuts same time as the U.S.

Comedy Series Insecure, created by and starring Issa Rae, debuts same time as the U.S. on October 10 exlusively on HBO.

A brand-new HBO comedy series INSECURE, about two best friends who must deal with their own real-life flaws as they attempt to navigate different worlds and cope with an endless series of uncomfortable everyday experiences, will debut same time as the U.S. on Monday, Oct 10 at 10.30am, with a same day primetime encore at 10.30pm, exclusively on HBO. New episodes premiere on subsequent Mondays at the same time. INSECURE will also be available on HBO GO.

Created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore, the eight-episode season explores the African-American female experience in an unclichéd and authentic way. Rae stars as Issa and Yvonne Orji as Molly on the show. Modern-day African-American women are usually portrayed as strong, confident and “flawless.” But Issa and Molly are definitely not “killing it.”

Over the course of the season, Issa attempts to figure out what she wants out of life and how to take control of it, while fumbling her way through this journey. Molly, a corporate attorney who appears to have everything together professionally, struggles inside as she looks for external ways to fix her life.

Meanwhile, Issa’s boyfriend, Lawrence (Jay Ellis), who has fallen victim to complacency, works to get his own act together. Frieda (Lisa Joyce), Issa’s overeager white co-worker,whose enthusiasm is both annoying and endearing, is at the crux of Issa’s racial frustrations at work.

Shot in and around South Los Angeles, INSECURE incorporates the music of both indie and established artists of color, and touches on a variety of social and racial issues that relate to the contemporary African-American experience.
