The Get Down, A New Original Netflix Series About Growing Up in the South Bronx in the 1970s

Netflix has released the official trailer for The Get Down, an upcoming original series by director Baz Luhrmann. The series focuses on a group of talented and restless teenagers growing up in the South Bronx during the late 1970s – the period of time when hip hop drowned out the sparkly era of disco. The series is expected to premiere in Autumn 2016.

Told through the lives and music of a ragtag crew of South Bronx teens, The Get Down is a mythic saga of the transformation of 1970s New York City.
