Issa Rae Signs a Production Deal with Paramount


Last year in a podcast interview actress / producer / writer Issa Rae admitted she felt stagnant in her career because she didn't have any current projects in production [click here if you missed that].

Well that's about the change...

From Variety
Issa Rae is taking her talents to Paramount.
The multi-hyphenate has set a three-year first-look film and television producing deal at the studio, which commences this month. Rae’s previously had an eight-figure overall pact at WarnerMedia, where she set shows including “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” “Rap Sh!t” and “Sweet Life.”
“I’m so looking forward to starting this next chapter with the incredible team at Paramount to tell stories for and by the diverse communities that have supported my work over the years,” Rae said in a statement.

    With Paramount? They’re big supporters of Trump. Later, Issa.

    Insecure was good until it morphed into soft core p0Rn & Black Lady Sketch Show was hilarious because of the cast. The rest I don't know but I'll pass. I see how fame really changed her, and not for the better.
