Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix, is creating something that the people are sure to watch – you know, other than Orange is the New Black. The Get Down is scheduled to come in 2016, and it’s been a work in progress for ten years now. Talk about well-thoughtout. The Get Down will be set in the South Bronx, New York, during the late 1970s and will follow a group of tight friendships who grow-up on the streets, only to survive them with hip hop. This will be a good watch. The evolution of hip hop began around the late 70s, so the genre through Hollands eyes should be a dope one.

“In this golden era of TV, the Netflix culture puts no constraint on creative possibilities,” says Holland. “So it is a natural home for ‘The Get Down,’ a project I have been contemplating and working on now for over 10 years. Throughout, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of how a city in its lowest moment, forgotten and half-destroyed, could give birth to such creativity and originality in music, art and culture. I’m thrilled to be working with my partners at Sony and collaborating with a team of extraordinary writers and musicians, many of whom grew up with and lived the story we’ve set out to tell.”
