The team behind HBO series Insecure is celebrating the return of the hit comedy series with a virtual block party.

The event will precede the premiere of the highly anticipated fourth season on Sunday. It will be the fourth time the Insecure team will host a block party event and the first time the event will take place online.

The Insecure cast and crew join other celebrities and musicians who have hosted virtual concerts and livestream events as the world continues to adjust to the new reality of social distancing during the coronavirus crisis.

Insecure creator and star Issa Rae posted a flyer on Twitter advertising the event on Friday.

The virtual block party will kick off with a live Instagram Q&A with Rae and other cast members, followed by a DJ set with artist Zaytoven. A performance by a surprise musical guest will take place after the season premiere, according to an HBO press release.

In January, Rae shared a teaser for the fourth season on Twitter in which her character, who shares the name Issa, can be seen rapping to herself in front of a mirror, something she does frequently on the show.
