Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photo: Getty Images Issa Rae, the co-creator, co-writer, and star of Insecure, is getting ready for the fifth and final season of her groundbreaking series, which premiered October 24. It’s a show that has earned the 36-year-old multiple Golden Globes and Emmy Award nominations and landed her on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world in 2018.
Shooting this season was also very challenging. We didn’t have as many scripts written beforehand, so in between takes or breaks I’m viewing scripts, sending notes, and then having meetings during lunch or sometimes after wrap to prep the upcoming episodes — those are endless meetings. Then answering emails about costumes and props and all those things throughout the day.
This time around, we were also shooting and prepping another show [Rap Sh*t], and so in the mornings, on the way to set, I would watch those episodes and send notes.It was terrible. You don’t get to socialize in the same way with people. We’re pretty much a tight-knit crew. Some people I didn’t even recognize. I was like, “Girl, that’s you? What?” Because their masks will be on. And then, of course, you’re shooting in a dangerous pandemic, so everybody’s anxiety is high.
