If you’re a fan of Issa Rae and her hit show ‘Insecure‘ and were expecting the season 4 premiere to take place on HBO this July (their usual premiere month), you may be waiting just a little bit longer.

According to reports, the show will not return this year as planned due to Issa being booked and very busy!

In an interview with Vulture’s Josef Adalian, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys confirmed that Insecure won’t be back for its fourth season until 2020, mostly because its star and creator Issa Rae has gotten hella busy.

“Well, Issa became a big movie star!” Bloys said of the actress, who’s currently starring in Little alongside Regina Hall and Marsai Martin. “We’re not the first place to deal with this, but when you’re in business with very creative and talented people, there’s a lot more opportunities for people to do things. Issa, I think, partly wanted a break to come back to it fresh.”

The network isn’t burning off Insecure, to be clear: It’s betting it’ll be just as strong, and potentially awards-worthy, when it returns to TV. “It wasn’t exactly random that we ended up [scheduling the show] in the spring, right before Emmys,” Bloys promised, “so that the show should get the Emmy love that it has deserved.”

According to HBO’s upcoming schedule, Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm won’t be back until 2020 as well. Those comedian-writers, they take their time!

‘Insecure’ isn’t one of our only faves that will be having a 2020 return, as it was previously announced that the Donald Glover led series ‘Atlanta’ won’t be back until next year; also due to the stars’ busy scheduled.

In the meantime, you can catch Issa in her new film ‘Little‘ in theaters now.
