Fans of Insecure may be sad that the season will be ending on Sunday (June 14), but Looking for LaToya isn’t going anywhere.
The true-crime series that Issa, Molly, and the rest of the Insecure cast has been watching through their life adventures will have a one-episode scripted podcast that will detail the disappearance of LaToya Thompson hitting all podcast services on Sunday.
Tenderfoot TV, the creators of hit true crime podcasts “Up and Vanished,” “To Live and Die in LA,” and “Atlanta Monster,” entered a collaboration with Issa Rae’s Raedio record label and HBO for a one-episode true-crime podcast. Listeners will get the full details of the mysterious case of LaToya Thompson, who is portrayed by SZA.
“It’s been an honor to partner with Tenderfoot TV to produce the ‘Looking For LaToya’ podcast. Their team has incredible skills and brings an uncompromised passion to the podcast space. With Raedio being an audio everywhere company with roots in music and storytelling the ‘Looking For LaToya’ project was a seamless next step as we develop our slate of content,” stated Benoni Tagoe, President of Raedio.
The show highlights the lack of attention paid to missing Black women in mainstream media, which will be illuminated further in the parody.
“Partnering with Issa Rae and her incredibly talented team is an honor,” said Donald Albright, President of Tenderfoot TV. “INSECURE is a phenomenal series that highlights the beauty and the struggle of the black experience in both a humorous and respectful way. There is always a message and a larger point behind the humor, which holds true on ‘Looking For Latoya.’ I look forward to bringing a new side of ‘Looking for LaToya’ to life, and sharing this episode with podcast listeners and fans of the show.”
