This comes after her two-year deal with HBO in 2016 and a renewal in 2018 that lasted for an additional three years.

Issa Rae told Variety,

“It’s really exciting to have that flexibility and just deepen the relationship that we already have.”

She continued,

“Hoorae already had at least 15 projects in various stages of development with them, so we’d been working with them on the drama side, the unscripted side, and the documentaries side for a couple years now.”
