Warning: Spoilers ahead for “Insecure” Season 3, Episode 1
Season 3 of “Insecure” finds Issa (Issa Rae) feeling… well, insecure.
Showrunner Prentice Penny (who also directed the Season 3 premiere episode) spoke with TheWrap about how Issa’s new living situation is cramping her style — and her rap habits.
In the episode, Issa is living with Daniel (Y’Ian Noel) — you know, the guy she cheated on Lawrence (Jay Ellis) with. There’s a moment where we see her gazing at the spot above the bathroom sink where a mirror should be, but it’s just a mirror-less medicine cabinet. That’s our first hint that Issa’s out of her element. There is a small hand mirror hanging on the side wall, and she’s about to start — but Daniel walks in.

“That was our sort of way of highlighting [her discomfort],” Penny said.

After two years of making mistakes, best friends Issa (Issa Rae) and Molly (Yvonne Orji) will finally learn from their pasts in the new season of “Insecure.”
Prentice Penny, who serves as executive producer and showrunner of the HBO series, reveals that the upcoming episodes will explore what it means to be an adult and show the characters distinguishing theirs wants from their needs.
“Adulting is two steps forward, one step back — [while trying] to be better every day,” Penny told Variety. “It’s hard to make hard choices.”
Star, co-creator, and executive producer Issa Rae feels that portraying these hard choices has challenged her as an actress.
While walking the carpet at the Insecure Fest event in downtown Los Angeles Saturday, Rae shared that she relived recent experiences and questioned past decisions while filming the third season, finding it difficult to separate herself from “what happened then and what’s happening in the show.
