“I want to be the biggest reggaeton star in the world.” Netflix has revealed the teaser trailer for the series Neon, about musicians in Miami. From exec producer, Daddy Yankee, and with original songs produced by Tainy, Neon is a new series about three friends’ quest to find fame in the world of reggaeton. Or at least play one paying gig. It’s set to debut on Netflix starting in October. While this isn’t the first film or TV show featuring reggaeton, this is definitely one of the first to focus specifically on this scene and this music. Three friends move from a small town in Florida with the hope of making it big in Miami. Starring Tyler Dean Flores as Santi, Emma Ferreira as Ness, Jordan Mendoza as Felix, Courtney Taylor as Mia, along with Michelle Cortés, Jessie Camacho, Ana Sofia Pomales, and Cecille Colón. Looks really upbeat and lively – that stage tackle is crazy! Very curious to find out what lead up to that. And the logo is cool, too.
Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Netflix’s series Neon, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:
From small-town Florida to the bustling beaches and bright lights of Miami, Neon follows three friends as they hustle their way to making it big in the world of reggaeton. The eight-episode comedy captures not only the three besties’ larger-than-life dreams, but also the harsh realities and funny mishaps of surviving the music industry. Tyler Dean Flores plays Santi, a rising reggaeton artist who, with the help of his best friends Ness (Emma Ferreira), Felix (Jordan Mendoza), and A&R rep Mia (Courtney Taylor), hopes to become the biggest star in reggaeton. Or at least pay his rent. Neon is a series created by American writer / filmmaker Shea Serrano, of Miguel Wants to Fight and creator of the “Primo” series previously. Featuring episodes directed by Max Searle. Produced by Frances Lausell and Miguel Nolla. Executive produced by Anne Clements, Daddy Yankee, Scooter Braun, Scott Manson, Max Searle, Shea Serrano, and James Shin. Netflix will debut the Neon series streaming on Netflix starting October 19th, 2023 this fall. Interested?
