Stay tuned for further news of The Get Down Part II, and check out the trailer for the April 7 return.
Here’s the latest synopsis for Part II, which Luhrmann notes will also feature a few animated elements, and less focus on the factual history of the Bronx: Part Two of The Get Down picks up in 1978, one year after the events of Part One.
For those unfamiliar, The Get Down features among its cast Shameik Moore, Justice Smith, Herizen Guardiola, Jaden Smith, Skylan Brooks, Tremaine Browne, Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Kevin Corrigan, Jimmy Smits and Breaking Bad alum Giancarlo Esposito.
The issue is, and it is a simple truth: I never saw myself as the showrunner.
