It's the final countdown but first things first: where to watch Insecure? Although you're probably not quite ready to part ways with Issa, Molly and Lawrence, the dramedy is gearing up for its final run. But don't fret—we'll help you prepare for the grand finale.

From friendship breakups to romantic breakups, the fifth season covers a range of heavy topics but manages to include its signature wit in the process. You'd be hard-pressed to skip out. 

"Issa has turned insecurity into an iconic form of comedy,” said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO programming, in a statement. “The show is as incisive as it is heartfelt, and it has resonated strongly with its audience."

Watch the 'Insecure' season 5 trailer:

"I just want to fast forward to the part of my life where everything's ok," we hear Issa say in the fifth season's teaser. 

From college reunions to family get-togethers, emotions appear to run high, and we're preparing for all the feels.

Where does 'Insecure' season 4 leave off?

Judging from the season 4 cliffhangers, Insecure is going to cover a lot of territory when it returns to TV: Issa and Molly's repaired relationship and their respective love lives. 

Though Lawrence and Issa finally reunited, his bombshell baby news kind of leaves their status up in the air. Meanwhile, Molly and Andrew appear to have parted ways for good, but will we actually get to see him again? 

And what about the ladies? Will they ever get back to where they were?

'Insecure' season 5 plot: What we know

Rather than move forward, the final season starts with flashbacks to young Issa, and we suspect this theme will run throughout the duration of the season. 

In the debut episode, Issa finds herself on a panel at her Standford 10-year reunion, questioning if she made the right decisions in life. Meanwhile, Molly is too preoccupied with her breakup to truly feel invested in anything else.

Entertainment sources also expect that we'll get a glimpse into what Issa's career path has in store for her next.

'Insecure' season 5 cameo: Who's showing up?

The familiar faces from previous seasons will reenter the picture, but you can also expect a cameo from Miss Keke Palmer, who took to social media to share the good news. (We're excited, too!) 

Though funny and at times emotional, Insecure hit screens in 2016 with a purpose.

"The goal was to elevate regular Black people and make us look as beautiful in our regularness as humanly possible," Rae told The New York Times (opens in new tab). "I think we achieved that."
