Issa Rae is reuniting with members of the Insecure cast to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the HBO series.

Insecure, which ran for five seasons from 2016 to 2021, follows Issa Dee (Issa Rae) and Molly Carter (Yvonne Orji), “two modern-day Black women and all of their tribulations,” as per HBO Max.

According to a press release, Insecure: The 10th Anniversary Tour will bring Issa and showrunner Prentice Penny together for “candid conversations, untold stories and unforgettable moments.” They’ll be joined by Yvonne, Jay Ellis and Natasha Rothwell on select dates.

The tour was announced on Instagram with a video that opens with Issa and Prentice seemingly wrapping up a recording session. As they scroll through their phones, Prentice randomly asks Issa if she’d be interested in going on tour. 

“Yeah, OK,” Issa replies.

“Cool,” Prentice responds. “I mean … bool.”

The video then shifts to a group chat with the cast. Issa begins the thread, writing, “It’s been 10 years! Insecure tour?”

“I am so down for this!” Jay replies, while Yvonne adds, “Oh I’ve BEEN waiting.”

Natasha then chimes in, writing, “You know what this?” before sending a GIF that reads, “Growth.”

The clip then cuts to the four cast members, with Yvonne saying, “It’s Insecure, but we’re very secure now.”

“Come see us on tour,” Issa says. The video ends with a poster displaying the tour dates and cities.

The Insecure tour kicks off Sept. 10 at The Met in Philadelphia and wraps Oct. 8 at YouTube Theater in Inglewood.

A Citi presale begins Wednesday at noon local time, with additional presales scheduled throughout the week.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Thursday at noon local time via Livenation.com.

(Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)(NEW YORK) -- A record number of West Nile virus cases have been recorded for this time of year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned on Wednesday ahead of the upcoming holiday weekend.At least 48 cases of West Nile have been reported so far this year compared to an average of 10 typically by the end of June. This is the highest number of infections reported at this point in year since 2004, according to the federal health agency.Additionally, at least 23 states are reporting West Nile activity, which is the highest number recorded over the last 10 years, CDC data shows.The illness is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the contagious U.S., with several thousand cases and over 100 deaths reported on average each year.With millions gathering outside for Fourth of July, the CDC is urging Americans to take precautions and reduce their risk of mosquito bites.Since 1999, the disease has killed more than 3,300 Americans. Cases have historically peaked in August and are mostly reported from June through October.While many people infected do not develop symptoms, about one in five do. Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea or rash, according to the CDC.  Most symptoms soon disappear, though weakness and fatigue may last for weeks or months.Fewer than 1% of people infected develop severe illness that affects the central nervous system, including inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and the membranes around the brain and spinal cord (meningitis), the CDC says.Risk of severe disease, hospitalization and death increase with older age; certain medical conditions including cancer, high blood pressure and kidney disease; and a weakened immune system.There are currently no vaccines for West Nile virus, nor disease-specific treatments. The CDC recommends rest, fluids and over-the-counter medications to treat the infection. Those with severe illness may need to be hospitalized and receive additional support treatments, such as intravenous fluids.Copyright © 2026, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
