As coronavirus containment efforts are underway, folks are staying at home, canceling weddings, and foregoing movie theaters in exchange for at-home entertainment. These are good and necessary precautions that are being supported by local governments (New York City, for example, recently announced itโd be shutting down Broadway shows for a month).

This can all be terrifying and anxiety-inducing, so allow yourself to feel good for just one goddamn minute (or two) and soak in the new Insecure trailer, dropped by actress and creator Issa Rae Thursday on Twitter.
โIn exactly one month, @insecurehbo is back!โ Rae announced. โSo geeked for you guys to see Season 4 and to hear this seasonโs amazing soundtrack!โ
So what can we glean from this sumptuously-shot trailer? Issa has โno jobโ and โno man,โ but that doesnโt mean sheโs not workingโor having to deal with messy entanglements. She seems like sheโs putting together the block party she mentioned in season three, but Issa also has to deal with Lawrence (Jay Ellis) dating one of her new friends.
In one standout scene from the trailer, Issa chats with her friend (and Lawrenceโs new love interest) Condola, played by Christina Elmore.
โL.A. is just so small,โ Condola says from across what is presumably her office desk.
โSo small! Where are all the good men at?โ Issa responds. โWhere [are] your exes? Let me run up on them like you runninโ up on mine!โ
Big yikes.
The first episode wonโt be here for another month (wah!) but if youโre feeling lonely and shut-in in the run-up to the premiere on April 12, thereโs plenty of time to revisit the first three seasons!
