BET’s first original sitcom, based off the award-winning film of the same name, SOMEBODIES, comes to the lineup this September.

SOMEBODIES tells the story of Scottie, an everyday, party-hopping, church-going, African-American undergraduate student looking for a good time with his friends and a little luck with the ladies. Unfortunately for Scottie, his path to peace of mind is fraught with a fire-and-brimstone preacher (Reverend Hill), fun-loving friends and fellow students (Tory, Jelly, Marlo, and Six), an eccentric southern family (Aunt Agnes, Uncle Skeeter and Uncle Charles) and a sexy young woman (Diva) who, like everyone else in his life, may have a screw or two loose.

Tune in weekly for this unconventional, smart and honest comedy about a laidback college student trying to make sense of the world and the offbeat friends and family, around him.

Each episode will be complete in and of itself. Major characters – Scottie, the guys, Diva, and Reverend Hill – will appear in each episode, and these characters will continue to develop in unexpected ways, growing more layered with each episode. New characters will come and go, weaving in and out the SOMEBODIES world.
