TV Quick Hits: ‘Insecure’ season 2 scoop; ‘Riverdale’ promo; ‘Hunted’ series gets big boost at CBS
There are a couple of different discussion points within this edition of TV Quick Hits, but it only feels right to start with a little bit of scoop on “Insecure” season 2 given the way that the first season ended on Sunday night, in particular for the characters for Issa and Lawrence.
So what’s next for the two? In a new post on Entertainment Weekly, star / co-creator Issa Rae explains what you’re going to see during at least part of the upcoming second season:
“I think we saw Issa at the beginning of this season decide to take life into her own hands and be active at all costs. We saw her make some pretty selfish and harmful decisions as result and, as the season progressed, we saw her appreciate some of what she already had in her life and to see her own fault in the things that weren’t going her way. I think this next season will see her start to ask more introspective questions. I think the break up will hit both Lawrence and Issa pretty hard and I think break-ups are rarely ever clean, especially for couples who lived together. So we know that Lawrence won’t be completely out of her life forever. We’re also really excited to develop what Issa and Molly possibly being single together looks like.”

“Riverdale” promo – The Archie comics adaptation is coming to the network on January 26, and based mostly on this, there is one word that we’d used to describe it: Dark. We have no problem with it being scandalous and a departure, but we’d probably make the show a little bit brighter and almost satirical.
“Hunted” premiere – On Sunday, January 20 following the AFC Championship Game, CBS is going to premiere this new reality show where teams of two try to avoid detection from some experts using everything at their disposal in order to find them. Teams who go 28 days without being found can earn up to $250,000. It’s an interesting concept, and one that we’ll be checking out. (Photo: HBO.)
