“We have been in business with Issa for more than eight years, and we couldn’t be prouder of our collaboration,” said Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer for HBO and HBO Max. “‘Insecure’ was a breakthrough series for HBO, and there is much more on the horizon. This new deal is an opportunity showcase Issa’s strengths.”

“HBO has been supportive of my work since the very first general meeting I had with Casey in 2012,” said Rae. I’m thrilled to not only spread my creative wings with the network that makes all of my favorite series, but also to produce culturally resonant stories with new voices that incite exciting conversations via HOORAE’s expanded relationship with all WarnerMedia platforms.”

This pact gives HBO, HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television exclusive rights to Rae’s small-screen projects developed through her media company, Hoorae. It includes a first-look film agreement across WarnerMedia’s Warner Bros. Pictures Group, New Line and HBO Max.

As a huge fan of Issa, I’m always excited to see what she has in store for the culture next. Issa is as creative as she is talented.
