Rel

Inspired by the comedy of Lil Rel Howery, REL stars Howery as a recently divorced husband and father who makes a fresh start on the West Side of Chicago, with the help of his best friend and unfiltered sounding board, BRITTANY; his overly encouraging younger brother, NAT; and his prideful DAD.

Rel finds the motivation to get off the couch and invites his Dad, Brittany and Nat to brunch. But his big plans are placed on hold when all of his clothes are held hostage in his laundry room by a local gang, The Lords.

Rel’s kids come to visit for the first time since the split, and he wants to make sure they have an amazing trip. He, Dad, Nat and Jess bring the kids to a Family Fun Center in Chicago, but when it doesn’t quite live up to its name, Rel has to find a way to salvage the day.

Just when Rel thinks he can’t possibly move on from his ex-wife, he gets hit with a pleasant surprise. But after getting in way over his head, he ends up taking some good advice from Brittany.

Rel, Nat, Brittany and Dad get together to watch a scary zombie movie around Halloween night. The film, titled “Frederick Douglass: Zombie Slayer,” is not what anyone expected and sparks a lot of controversy amongst the group.

Nat lands himself a job and gets the second chance he’s been hoping for since doing his time in prison. His excitement comes to a halt when his superior acts inappropriately towards him. Without hesitation, Rel and Brittany try to come to his rescue.
