BIG CITY GREENS Director Developing New Disney Show PRIMOS

Disney/Craig Sjodin

Disney Branded Television has ordered a new television show called Primos from Natasha Kline, who directed Big City Greens. Meaning cousin in Spanish, Primos is about a Mexican American family based on Kline’s own childhood. Featuring Tater, an eccentric 10 year old girl, and her 12 cousins who move in for the summer who help her discover her “it” factor. Kline says:

‘Primos’ is set in childhood summers spent with my cousins under one roof, and the comedy that’s borne from that wonderfully hectic setting. As a kid, I didn’t see myself or my culture represented onscreen, so I’m excited to share my family dynamic through these new Disney characters and stories.

Shows like this are always best when rooted in personal experience from the writers and it sounds like this show will have that in spades. Big City Greens is a bizarrely funny show, so I’m actually excited to see where this new one can go. Each half hour episode of Primos will have two 11 minute stories which seems to be a really popular format for shows lately.

No release date yet, but I’m looking forward to this one when it comes out.
