Written/executive produced by Josh Rabinowitz & Kevin Barnett and Howrey and directed by Gerry Cohen, Rel was inspired by Howrey’s life. It centers on Lil Rel, a prideful, self-made success who lives by the code to “always believe in yourself and great things will come,” finds that attitude put to the test when he learns his wife is having an affair with his own barber. He tries to rebuild his life post-divorce as a long-distance single father on the West Side of Chicago on a quest for love, respect, and a new barber.
