Starring Lil Rey Howery, Rel follows a nurse in the West Side of Chicago whose life is turned upside down when he learns his wife is having an affair and divorcing him… to be with his barber.
As a creator and executive producer for Rel, Kevin Barnett’s brand of comedy had the potential to reach a wide audience.
The show got off to a strong start when it premiered in September 2018, although the numbers dwindled (as ratings numbers often do for new series) as the weeks passed.
