The Get Down
The Get Down started to air in August 2016. It is a musical drama set in the early ‘70s in the South Bronx. Most of its fans were shocked and dismayed after learning it got cancelled after just one season. The hip-hop musical was weighed down by huge production delays and a large budgetary requirement, apparently. It was the most expensive television series ever for Netflix as it reached $120 million in production costs. Despite all this, the director of the series is certain that the show’s spirit will surely live on. He also hopes for its revival sometime in the future. In his Facebook post, Baz Luhrman shared how the show has started to have a life of its own. He also said in the same post that “One that lives on today and will continue to be told somewhere, somehow, because of you, the fans and the supporters”.
