Send Help follows Fritz Jean-Baptiste (Elie), who is riding high as the star of the fictional hit TV show “This Can’t Be Us.” Convinced that the good times will roll on forever, he thwarts all other career advancing opportunities as he plays the field with multiple women, instead of tackling a family tragedy that is beginning to unravel his entire life.

Stewart Yost is directing the series which has been greenlit for a seven-episode season.

Joseph is set to play Sebastian “Simp” Gauyo, whose presence serves as a guide for Fritz, helping him navigate the difficult and often comical scenarios in his life.

Obilom and Singer play Ashley Young and Erica James, respectively, two women that Fritz finds himself caught between amidst his ongoing personal and professional struggles.

Bonnefil is playing Misha Jean-Baptiste/Mummy, Fritz’s mother. Jean and Courtney Taylor will play Fritz’s closest friends and confidantes, Patrick Cantave and Nicole Cooper. Bowen will appear as Fritz’s young niece, Mac Levine.
