The first half of Season 1 became available on Netflix in August 2016; the second half doesn’t debut until April 7, 2017.
The Get Down has been something of a mess for Netflix for a while now.
The series went through a number of stalls, rewrites, and delays for more than two years before the first episode made its streaming premiere.
The original budget of $7.5 million for 12 episodes reportedly skyrocketed to a whopping $120 million, and Netflix wasn’t even able to release the full first season at once as planned.
