HBO hasย given a green light to “Insecure,” a comedy pilotย starringย Issa Raeย andย co-created and written by Rae andย Larry Wilmore, an HBO representative tells TheWrap.
“Insecure”ย focuses on theย awkward experiences and racy tribulations of a modern-day African-American woman.
Rae has tackled the same themes in her successful webseries, “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl,”ย which won her a Shorty Award.
Wilmore now has aย late-night talk show on Comedy Central, so his involvement withย the series is unclear.ย But, he’sย still attached as an executive producer alongside Rae.
Michael Rotenberg, Dave Becky and Jonathan Berry will serve asย executive producers andย 3 Arts will be producing.
