Here’s the official series synopsis, per press release:

Send Help follows Fritz Jean-Baptiste (Jean Elie, Insecure), a first-generation Haitian American actor, who is on top of the world since landing a starring role on fictional hit TV show, This Can’t Be Us…all while being the sole support system for his incredibly demanding Haitian family, and also reeling from a recent tragedy. Fritz is firing on all cylinders, until he receives a fateful call delivering the news of his shows’ cancellation. As Fritz struggles to conquer his feelings of imposter syndrome, the Hollywood community, and high maintenance family, he leans on his closest friends and confidantes…Patrick Cantave (Catfish Jean, Survivor’s Remorse), Nicole Cooper (Courtney Taylor, Insecure) and Sebastian “Simp” Gauyo (Amin Joseph, Snowfall), whose presence serves as a guide for Fritz. They help him navigate the difficult and often comical scenarios in his life. Now unemployed, will Fritz be able to keep his family afloat, while struggling to overcome the challenges of, once again, “making it” in Hollywood?

EUR chatted with some of the stars at the red carpet premiere in West Hollywood at The London Hotel last month. Series co-creator Jean Elie shared how blessed he felt to work with his friends on a project.

“Not many people can work with their friends in this industry. They usually have to find their own way and somehow return to each other later. So the fact that I could work with my friends from the beginning is special,” said Elie.

Also significant was the opportunity to display Haitian culture in front of and behind the camera. Ellie explained, “to be able to put this story out there and tell a story that’s very honest to ourselves. To show representation that we don’t always see on television. You usually see a very stereotypical version of Haitian culture on TV. With “Send Help,” you’re seeing him front and center. Not as a side character. You see him and his life and what it’s like to be a first-generation Haitian American. And also, Black men can connect to this story overall. The idea with Black men and mental health is usually that they have to suffer in silence. In this series, you don’t necessarily have to do that.”

“Send Help” airs Thursday, Sept. 15, on ALLBLK. The streaming app is available everywhere streaming services are found – iOS, Android, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Apple TV and Apple TV Channels, Roku and Roku Channels, Amazon Fire TV, YouTube TV, Cox, DISH, Sling TV, Charter, and more.
