Fans hoping to see the cast of Insecure together again got some disappointing news, the show’s planned 13-city anniversary tour has been canceled.
Series stars Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis and Natasha Rothwell joined showrunner Prentice Penny in a video posted on social media to explain why the tour was scrapped, and to thank fans for “rocking” with them all these years.
Ellis joined the conversation from the set of his new show The Rookie: North, but said he was too busy to talk about the tour.

None of the actors appeared eager to deliver the disappointing news, so they left the task to Penny.
“We are so sorry we had to cancel the tour. We are also bummed. I’m serious. But everybody started working, which is good,” Penny said in the video.
Rae explained scheduling conflicts made it impossible for the full group to take part in a multi-city tour.
“Unfortunately, our schedules got messed up,” she said. “But we only wanted to do this if we could all be there and give you the best experience possible.”
Created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore, Insecure premiered on HBO in 2016 and wrapped production in December 2021.
The live tour was set to mark 10 years since the show’s debut, with cast conversations, behind-the-scenes stories and a look at the show’s cultural impact.
Announced in July, the tour was scheduled to begin Sept. 10 at The Met in Philadelphia and make 13 stops before wrapping in Inglewood. Despite the cancellation, the anniversary celebration is not completely off.
The team behind the show will still reunite for a special 10th anniversary event on Oct. 8 at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood—the city “where it all started,” Penny said in the video.
