The comedy “explores the lives of college students of color as they navigate friendships, relationships and existential crises,” according to a Visit Syracuse Film Commission press release.

The pilot episode, according to the release, features a popular fraternity kidnapping the wrong student — the president’s son — sparking a nationwide scandal. The production team is looking for people of East Asian descent to play wealthy investors at a board meeting, the release said.



The cast also features Alex MacNicoll of “13 Reasons Why” and its production team includes crew members from the Oscar-winning film “Sound of Metal.”
