Equally as exciting as the actual news that the former Olivia Pope will be teaming up with our favorite Awkward Black Girl for the critically-acclaimed HBO series is the way the news was announced. Rae and Washington delivered the surprise via Instagram in a hilarious video that has us even more excited for what’s to come.

Check out Kerry channeling her inner Issa for the official announcement in the clip above. Insecure season 4 premieres in 2020.
