"Primos" creator Natasha Kline and star Myrna Velasco discuss developing a series with a multicultural story at the forefrontDisney's "Primos" series sheds light on creator Natasha Kline's unique Mexican-American experiences in new animated comedyIt's the "Summer of Tater," or at least, she wishes it was.
"Primos" characters- SCOOTER, LITA, TERE, TOÑITA, TABI, COUSIN BUD, GORDITA, LUCITA, TATER, NELLIE, CHACHA, BIG NACHO, NACHITO, LOTLOT"At first, Tater is really resistant that this is not the summer she was expecting. It's not what she needed and wanted, but I think she learns throughout the series that having your family there is an asset," said Velasco.
With 23 cousins in her family, Kline worked to condense their characteristics into 12 primos. "My cousins were like, 'I think this one's me!' And, they were all just super duper excited about it. Yeah, they keep sending me screenshots of the trailer and just being like, 'Oh, my God! That's just like our lives,'" she laughed.
When it came to having a diverse cast of characters, Kline explained, "That was really the goal of the series, to create characters that were all from different walks of life, all different skin tones, all different kinds of ethnicities, but that they all live together in this house, and there's a bond that forms for them, and there's an acceptance that forms, that's already there, honestly.
