ROOTING FOR YOU BRO

ROOTING FOR YOU BRO
By Levi Feeni

GENRE: Not selected
LOGLINE:

"After his engagement implodes and he's left emotionally stranded, a former comedian, turned-middle school teacher stumbles into a raw, unfiltered men’s therapy group nicknamed the Super Villains, where he must confront heartbreak, identity, and healing in a world that never taught men how to recover."

SYNOPSIS:

Tyrese, a 37-year-old male teacher and former stand-up comedian, is finally settling into stability—until he catches his fiancée, Asia, making out with her ex on the same day he starts his new teaching job. The betrayal sends him into a blind rage, wrecking her apartment before getting arrested and released.

Enter Pete Richmond, a divorced, nerdy, marketing-failure-turned-Uber-driver, who unknowingly picks Tyrese up and introduces him to his men’s therapy group—a raw, unfiltered space where men vent, joke, and drop unexpected wisdom.

Tyrese, too proud to share his pain, just listens at first. As each man shares their trauma, the series intercuts between their storytelling and the real-life events they’re describing, making each session feel visceral and immersive. Through these sessions, Tyrese starts to see his own reflection in their experiences, whether he wants to or not.

Meanwhile, Tyrese navigates:

  • A chaotic classroom full of students who keep roasting him

  • His cousin Maurice (a Kevin Samuels-type of realist) giving him cold truths

  • Principal Elaine, a confident cougar making not-so-subtle moves on him

  • His childhood best friend Darnell, a married physician who serves as his logical, responsible counterbalance

  • His best friend Katrina, the only woman he trusts—but also the one woman he lowkey might love

By the season’s end, Tyrese finally faces his pain head-on, but just when he thinks he's moving forward, a twist.
