In the most recent season of the Emmy-winning show, which aired last fall, Strahovski’s character Serena Joy Waterford learns that her husband, Fred (Joseph Fiennes), has been murdered by a group of former handmaids, including June (Elisabeth Moss).

The final season of "Insecure" was among the honorees when the 2022 Emmy Award nominations were announced on July 12. The show, which wrapped up in December 2021, got nominations for outstanding actress in a comedy series for Issa Rae, plus outstanding single-camera picture editing for a comedy series and outstanding cinematography for a single-camera series (half-hour). But the news was still disappointing to fans, since the show missed out on a nomination for outstanding drama series, and no one else from the cast received a nod.
Rae reacted to the new on Tuesday afternoon in an Instagram Story. "Emmy-nominated on a Tuesday?! On a Tuesday?" she said with a big smile. "I gotta give love to my 'Insecure' fam, to Prentice [Penny], Yvonne [Orji], Jay [Ellis], to our amazing writers," she continued. She also gave love to Nena Erb and Ava Berkofsky, who received the show's other two nominations. Then she shouted out other nominees,...

You may know Jean Elie as Issa Rae's quick-witted onscreen brother, Ahmal Dee, in HBO's "Insecure," but the beloved, since-concluded series was just the beginning of the actor's Tinseltown tenure. The Brockton, Ma, native is gearing up for his next big project: a dark-comedy coming-of-age series called "Send Help" and green-lit on AMC's Allblk streaming service. Since the "Insecure" series finale, Elie has added "cocreator" to his résumé, leading the Allblk show alongside "Insecure" writer alum Mike Gauyo. "Send Help" stars Elie as first-generation Haitian American Fritz Jean-Baptiste on his journey of "making it" in Hollywood after experiencing a family tragedy - a story largely inspired by the multihyphenate's own life.
"It's about the journey, the process of getting there, and the lessons you learn along the way."
"['Send Help'] comes from hearing a lot of people talk about their journey, a lot of first-generation Haitians,...
