It's been a long time coming, but fans of Issa Rae's hit show, Insecure, now have a reason to celebrate! Netflix recently announced that the series has been added to its impressive catalog, thanks to a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. That means all five seasons of the popular original HBO series are now available to stream, making it easier than ever for fans to rewatch and relive the show that wrapped up in 2021.
In response to the news, Rae took a break from promoting her upcoming blockbuster hit, Barbie, and shared the announcement on her Instagram Story with a short video of the show playing and a "Now playing Netflix" graphic. Showrunner Prentice Penny also shared the news to his Twitter, simply captioning the tweet with "Enjoy, y'all."
This move from HBO is a rarity, as the network typically doesn't issue licenses of its original shows to companies outside of its own partners. However, there are some exceptions, like Sex and the City, which was sold in syndication to TBS, and The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, and The Wire, which were licensed to Amazon when Richard Plepler was the CEO.
The deal is a win-win for both parties involved. Not only will it give a new, fresh look to different audiences who may not be familiar with Rae's works, but it will also help Warner Bros. Discovery from a financial standpoint. With the network looking to cut costs, licensing content could be the answer to increasing profits, according to CEO David Zazlav.
With Insecure now on Netflix, fans old and new can enjoy the show anytime they want, and with no shortage of other classic titles like Ballers, Band of Brothers, Six Feet Under, and The Pacific, there's something for everyone. So get ready to indulge in some great entertainment - Enjoy, y'all!
