Issa Rae has risen to prominence with her web series Awkward Black Girl, which has been so successful that HBO have decided to give her the chance to do something very similar on TV.

Insecure, a half-hour comedy, will follow two stories of two black women (played by Rae and Yvonne Orji), looking at their friendships, experiences, and tribulations they're faced with.

Awkward Black Girl has been critically acclaimed - leading to Rae's place on lists such as Forbes' 30 under 30 - and the subject matter is rather relevant, meaning this should be a series that has a lot of material to play around with, and HBO will be hoping it replicates the quality and success of the web series.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
