Netflix’s Neon, created by Shea Serrano and Max Searle, just dropped—and it’s already making waves for how it centers reggaetón with humor, heart, and cultural authenticity. Backed by Scooter Braun’s SB Projects and executive produced by Daddy Yankee, the series brings in heavy hitters like Suzy Exposito and Katelina “La Gata” Eccleston as consultants to make sure it gets the culture right. With sharp writing, layered characters, and intentional representation—especially of Afro-Latinas in the industry—Neon isn’t just a music comedy, it’s a blueprint for how to tell Latine stories with nuance and respect.
