Are Insecure‘s Issa and Lawrence done for good? Maybe. Jay Ellis, who plays Lawrence on the HBO hit, says he’s pretty much been “out of the loop” when it comes to storylines and filming for season three, which might mean we won’t be seeing much of him. 

Ellis chatted with Angie Martinez about the upcoming season, which led the actor to reveal that he hasn’t filmed one scene for the new season.

“I’m a little bit out of it. I’m not really…they’ve been filming for the last six or seven weeks or something like that,” he told The Angie Martinez Show host.

Lawrence and Issa really brought things to an end during Insecure’s second season as the pair possibly set out to explore new relationships. HBO renewed the show for a third season in August. 

Ellis added about Lawrence and Issa’s relationship, “I don’t know if there is a relationship. There was closure at the end. There was like full closure.”

Check out Ellis and Martinez’s conversation about the fate of his character in the clip above.
