For Season 4, Rae said that all the characters are leveling up and entering the next phase in life. Issa has quit her job and is on a new venture with her passion project of a block party while Molly is in her first relationship in a long time with “Asian Bae” Andrew (Alexander Hodge) and balancing her personal and work life. Lawrence (Jay Ellis) is thriving to level up on his own.
