In addition to Rae, City Girl’s JT and Yung Miami are credited as co-executive producers. Sara Rastogi of Hoorae, Kevin “Coach K” Lee, and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Films are credited as well.
Issa Rae previously found success with HBO with her series Insecure. Rae achieved critical acclaim for her comedy, serving as the leading character, in addition to co-creating and co-writing. The final season of the series ended in December 2021, just in time for Rae to shift focus to this new project.
If Insecure and the new trailer are any indication, the comedy is sure to be full of laughter, heart, and strong female friendship.
Along with co-producing, Rae also wrote the series’ pilot, and co-wrote its finale. She tweeted a link to the trailer writing, “Something for the Summer!”
