Latinx Half-Hour Dramedy Series Gentefied Comes To Netflix

Netflix Confirms New Original Series Based On Current Brazilian Corruption Investigation 2

— MACRO, America Ferrera, Teri Weinberg and Aaliyah Williams
will executive produce the ten-episode series —

Created by two Chicano first-gen writers, Gentefied is a half-hour dramatic comedy adapted from the 2017 Sundance digital darling of the same name. In this badass bilingual series about family, community, brown love, and the displacement that disrupts it all, three Mexican-American cousins struggle to chase the American Dream, even while that same dream threatens the things they hold most dear: their neighborhood, their immigrant grandfather, and the family taco shop. Set in a rapidly changing Los Angeles, the Spanglish dramedy will navigate important themes like identity, class, and balancing insta-fame with translating memes for their parents. But most importantly, Gentefied will settle once and for all how to pronounce Latinx.

A love letter to the Latinx and Boyle Heights communities, creators Marvin Lemus and Linda Yvette Chavez hope Gentefied will let their little cousins rocking adidas, hoops, and big dreams see themselves on the big screen in ways they only dreamed of growing up.

Gentefied is a Netflix production.
