Issa Rae replied,
“So this the frame right before you beat her ass, right?”
The character of Condola is pregnant with Issa’s character’s long-time love interest, Lawrence. After she repordely got a role on the show, Palmer joked on Instagram to be careful what you wish for.
“Careful what you wish for 🥴Lololololol….Genuinely so thankful to @issarae! I always shoot my work shots(cause I loves to werk 😅), what’s the worst that can happen? Present your skill, you never know how it can be of service. 🙏🏾.”
The trailer for season five was released the same day, and it shows Palmer’s character standing near Condola, who is holding her newborn. No more news about the 28-year-old’s role has been made public, but the clip teases Issa and Molly’s relationship and the return of Nathan (Kendrick Sampson).
