<p>Whew! Issa Rae has just added an nine-figure deal to her already promising media career, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/issa-rae-hbo-max-warnermedia-film-television-deal-1234935944/">Variety</a>. The publication reports that Issa has just signed a five-year overall deal with WarnerMedia, which gives HBO, HBO Max and <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/ice-cube-calls-out-warner-bros-for-allegedly-refusing-to-make-more-friday-sequels/">Warner Bros.</a> television exclusive rights to Issa&#8217;s work in television. Issa&#8217;s deal also reportedly includes a first-look film deal.</p>
<p>Sources tell Variety that the new deal is valued at a whopping $40 million over five years, and Chief Content Officer of HBO and HBO Max Casey Bloys says Issa is on the top of the platform&#8217;s talent list.</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s obviously very talented and she&#8217;s very prolific,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It&#8217;s been very good to work with Issa personally, but also as a company, because she&#8217;s seeded a lot of talent elsewhere.&#8221;</p>
<p>As we previously reported, Issa signed a two-year overall deal with HBO in 2016 and renewed that deal for three more years in 2018. Issa spoke with Variety, saying she&#8217;s excited to continue working with HBO.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really exciting to have that flexibility and just depend the relationship that we already have,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Hoorae already had at least 15 projects in various staged of development with them, so we&#8217;d been working with them on the drama side, the unscripted side, and the documentaries side for a couple years now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the success of her hit show <em>Insecure</em>, Issa Rae has continued to branch off and build an empire for herself! She has starred in many films since, and now has her own show on Apple Music called <em>Issa Raedio. </em>She has also announced that she is working on a new show called Rap Sh*t, which will be co-executive produced by the City Girls.</p>
<p>What can&#8217;t Issa Rae do? We aren&#8217;t too sure. Are y&#8217;all ready for some more Issa productions, Roomies? Let us know in the comments!</p>
