Insecure season 5: When will the final season be released?

Fans of Insecure have been eagerly anticipating the release of season five of the show.

In heartbreaking news, HBO confirmed that Insecure will end with its fifth season.

"Prentice [Penny] and I are so grateful that HBO believed in our show from the beginning and kept faith in us to see our vision through the end,” Rae told Deadline.

“We always planned to tell this story through five seasons, but we couldn’t have made it this far without the tremendous support of our audience. I feel blessed beyond measure to bring our characters’ stories to an end, on-screen at least.”

Insecure's fifth season premiered on Sunday, October 24 on HBO and HBO Max.

Production began in January 2021, and the final episode aired on Sunday, December 26 that year.

When asked if she would incorporate any pandemic-related scenes into new episodes, Rae was reluctant about the idea.

"I already have fatigue of it because we’re living it and I think that’s my biggest worry is just, you know, I don’t want the show to feel dated and obviously certain aspects will already feel dated by nature,” she told Variety.

“I think there might be a world where we acknowledge it in the background, because I think it obviously will have long-lasting impacts."
