Among the many, many new series arriving on Netflix this year, we’re perhaps most eager for a look at Baz Lurhmann’s ‘70s hip-hop drama The Get Down, its first episodes due to arrive in August.
Even without a full first season to premiere, the latest trailer makes The Get Down a strong contender for the year’s most electric.
You can check out the first trailer below, and stay tuned for more details on the six-episode release and beyond.
Hitting Netflix on August 12 (or at least its first six episodes), The Get Down features in its cast Shameik Moore, Justice Smith, Herizen Guardiola, Jaden Smith, Skylan Brooks, Tremaine Browne, Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jimmy Smits and Breaking Bad alum Giancarlo Esposito.
