HBO can’t seem to get enough of ‘Insecure’ creator and star Issa Rae, as the network has picked up two more shows by the Stanford grad, as part of her 2016 first-look deal.

The first show, ‘Him Or Her’, is said to be a comedy, the second show, ‘Sweet Life’, is being slated as a drama. ‘Him or Her’ is being produced by Rae and former ‘The Daily Show’ writer, Travon Free. A “single-camera half-hour chronicles the dating life of a bisexual black man and the distinctly different worlds and relationships he finds himself in.” Free will also join the ‘Sweet Life’ team as a writer, which is co-created by Scandal producer Raamla Mohamed, and it’s being described as “A coming of age tale of the well-heeled teens growing up” in the “Black Beverly Hills” neighborhood of Windsor Hills.”

Can’t wait!
