Baz Luhrmann On His New Netflix Show 'The Get Down'

Baz Luhrmann has started casting his new Netflix drama “The Get Down” — and he’s not just looking for established talent with agents. In an exclusive interview with Vulture, the director/producer says that while he’s “already looking at some great talent out there who are professionals,” he’s also determined to feature undiscovered performers on his first-ever TV series, which will explore the rise of hip-hop culture from the ashes of New York City’s 1970s malaise.
