Season 4 has a theme of "leveling up" as Issa and her friends consciously try to move forward to the next phase in their lives. The season premiered April 12.
The HBO announcement indicates Rae and executive producer Prentice Penny will return for Season 5.
"We're thrilled that Issa, Prentice, and the whole Insecure team will be getting back together for a fifth season," Gravitt said in the press release. "As we laugh and cringe with recognition, their stories make us all feel a little less alone in the world."
Rae has been nominated for two Golden Globes and an Emmy for her performance on Insecure. The show's cinematography has been nominated for two Emmys also.
Insecure airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. EDT on HBO.
