HBO has renewed comedy series Insecure for a fifth season. Insecure's ten-episode fourth season debuted April 12 on HBO. The series stars Emmy®, Golden Globe and NAACP nominee Issa Rae (The Photograph) who heads the ensemble cast, and continues to follow our favorite characters as they evaluate their relationships, both new and old, in an effort to figure out who and what comes with them in this next phase of their lives. Season four series regulars include Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis, Natasha Rothwell, Amanda Seales and Alexander Hodge. Insecure was created by Issa Rae & Larry Wilmore; executive produced by Issa Rae, Prentice Penny, Melina Matsoukas, Michael Rotenberg, Dave Becky, Jonathan Berry, Amy Aniobi and Jim Kleverweis.
All ten half-hour episodes of the off-kilter comedy series The Dress Up Gang are now available to watch via the TBS app, website and video on demand with a pay tv subscription. The first episode of the series is be available without requiring a cable subscription. The Dress Up Gang is set in a surreal version of Los Angeles. Donny and Cory are roommates who look out for each other. Donny, a responsible adult with the temperament and outlook of a child, relies on guidance and life advice from Cory, the dad-like 30-something who has been crashing on his couch for quite some time. The show, which premiered at Sundance in 2019, is based on the cult-hit web series My Roommate, My Friend, created by The Dress Up Gang, a comedy group featuring comedians Cory Loykasek, Donny Divanian, Frankie Quinones and director Robb Boardman. Their viral videos include Cute House and the CholoFit series. The show also features actress Andie MacDowell and comedians and frequent collaborators Brent Weinbach, Kirk Fox, Kevin Camia, Chase Bernstein, Christian Duguay and DeMorge Brown.
