TIDBITS FROM THE TEASER
Thankfully, the season 5 teaser has been released by HBO to give viewers more insight into the upcoming season. The first thing the teaser can confirm is the return of the iconic reflexive mirror chats.
The teaser makes use of past mirror conversations included in the show as its main storytelling device. As a result, viewers feel that the season will be more sentimental and focus on reflecting on Issa’s growth.
Additionally, there are no other characters in the trailer, maintaining that the season will zero in on Issa’s journey. However, that is not to say that the other character’s storylines won’t be exciting.
In fact, Rae previously revealed that she is most excited for Molly’s storyline in the upcoming season. The show’s director also confessed that the relationship between Molly and Issa would change due to their character development.
Other cast members to expect this season include the entire core cast and Kendrick Sampson, who will return as Nathan. Sampson’s return also confirms that the love triangle between his character, Issa, and Lawrence will continue.
According to the show’s cast’s sentimental Instagram posts, they wrapped filming in June. Now fans can eagerly await the first episode, which will be released on 24 October as per details on the teaser.
