Issa Rae is taking on a new project.

The 36-year-old Insecure actress is partnering with HBO Max and Miramax for a revival of the critically acclaimed docuseries Project Greenlight, per Variety.

The upcoming series will adhere to a similar format as the original, which ran from 2001-2003 and was briefly revived in 2005 and again in 2015.

However, the new iteration of the show will center on talented female filmmakers who are given the opportunity to direct a feature film.

Issa will act as an executive producer for their work and appear in every episode, offering her guidance to the filmmakers. The finished product will then debut on HBO Max.

Jennifer O’Connell, executive vice president of non-fiction and live-action family at HBO Max, said in a statement, “At HBO Max, we are committed to providing a platform for diverse, up-and-coming talent. Issa is uniquely skilled in this space, and we are thrilled to be partnering with her and Miramax as a promising group of filmmakers is inspired and challenged with their biggest opportunity yet.”

“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. 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,” Issa told Deadline.

“I feel blessed beyond measure to bring our characters’ stories to an end, on-screen at least.”

The fifth season is expected to go into production later this month, and will star Issa, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis, Natasha Rothwell, Amanda Seales and Alexander Hodge. It will arrive sometime later in 2021.

The show was based on Issa’s online series Awkward Black Girl, and followed her as she navigated love, life and friendship.

There have been a lot of shows cancelled throughout the entirety of 2020 and Netflix especially has been cancelling left and right. Find out which shows have been recently cancelled by Netflix in the past few months.

“Ive always said SNL uses black people to hold other black people back. My heart goes out to Issa Rae. I’m praying for her and her family,” he wrote.

“I know that the twenty years of service that I’ve paid in the entertainment field has furthered our ability to be more successful.”

On SNL, Kanye was mentioned during the “Your Vote Chicago” speech, when Issa’s character appeared on a morning talk show to say she’s voting for “everybody Black” – except Kanye.

“When we come back, we’ll talk about the presidential race between Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kanye West,” Kenan Thompson‘s anchor character said, to which she said: “Kanye? F him!”

Issa Rae is hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time ever!

The 35-year-old entertainer hosted the hit sketch show on Saturday (October 17).

During her opening monologue, Issa talked about feeling “awkward” about premiering her HBO series Insecure back in fall of 2016 right after Donald Trump won the presidential election.

“The results came in, and, of course, everybody was freaking out. I was freaking out,” Issa shared. “And it felt really awkward for my life to be going so good. Like, it was rude to be peaking right when democracy was collapsing. It’s just really weird to say thank god for what happened in the fall of 2016.”
