Insecure has returned with its fifth and final season!
“Last season, obviously there was a lot of turmoil in Issa and Molly’s lives, collectively and individually. So, coming off of that, we were trying to build on this idea that we can’t always control the cards you're dealt. It’s really how you play them,” Penny says, setting up the driving concept for season 5.
Returning to Stanford was an important decision for the show and to see how Issa and Molly can move forward. “We always wanted to go back to the birthplace of their friendship and kind of examine why they were friends. And then, almost them needing to remember why they were friends,” Penny explains, noting that the two are not really back to where they were before. “They are still on eggshells.”
Later, the four women and one of their former Stanford friends, Cheyenne , decide to head out to a party when Issa, Molly and Cheyenne get stood up at a convenience store and it’s revealed that Cheyenne is behind the theft. While scary at first, it becomes a laughable moment that breaks the tension between Issa and Molly.
So, when it comes to her death, “we wanted this moment not to just be a joke, right?” Penny says, explaining that Issa, Molly and Tiffany’s fake memorial service isn’t just for laughs. “That has a real impact on her. To be remembered and your legacy, what you’ve left behind. So, that’s a big thing for the character this season.”
