Although Issa Rae‘s seminal HBO dramedy Insecure has lengthy since wrapped, with a last episode airing in late 2021, the multi-hyphenate may be very conscious that some followers are displeased with the ending — even to the purpose of asking for reshoots.
In a new interview with People, the Barbie star admitted she is aware of that “individuals are actually mad about” how the present concluded. After 5 seasons spanning 2016 by 2021, the perennially awkward and self-titled Issa Dee opts to rekindle her romance with on-again, off-again beau Lawrence (Jay Ellis) to the chagrin of many devoted viewers, who had lengthy since dismissed the ex as no good, particularly after he fathered a baby with one other lady, Condola (Christina Elmore). Ellis’ character is so polarizing that the actor revealed in 2020 that he has been “punched,” “slapped” and “stubborn out” as a consequence of his portrayal.
“Folks have informed me to reshoot, which is loopy as a result of they didn’t like the choice that Issa makes ultimately,” the media mogul defined.
The Rap Sh!t govt producer continued, “I get requested for season 6 lots — even this morning [Thursday, Jan. 30]. I needed to simply put up as a result of I bought hacked this morning. Sadly, I fell for no matter phishing scams and now can’t get into my account. And I don’t even use it. So when you see loopy tweets for me, simply understand it’s not me [and I said], ‘Any individual, please assist’ on my Insta Story. ‘I bought hacked on Twitter.’ And anyone was like, ‘I’ll make it easier to when you give me three extra seasons of Insecure.’ So I’m like, y’all can’t even take me significantly.”
The One in all Them Days producer is not going to be revisiting Insecure — in regards to the on a regular basis experiences of a Black lady in Los Angeles and her mates (portrayed by Yvonne Orji, Amanda Seales and Natasha Rothwell) — any time quickly.
Whereas the present’s fifth and last season was about to air, Rae appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to debate the strain of wrapping up a beloved collection and assembly viewers expectations: “All of the strain — this was terrifying. Since you’re ending a present and individuals are gonna have their opinions,” she stated. “You don’t need to drop it, and we’re on HBO, which, , had one other standard finale that individuals felt strongly about, and other people come as much as me like, ‘Woman, I can’t anticipate the ultimate season, simply don’t ‘Recreation of Thrones’ it.”
