Co-creator and showrunner Max Searle and director Oz Rodríguez spoke about their new Netflix series, 'Neon,' which follows Santi (Tyler Dean Flores) and his friends as they try to make it in the Miami's reggaeton scene.
When showrunner Max Searle began working on “Neon,” he wondered whether he could get the 'King of Reggaeton' involved in his new Netflix series about Miami’s music scene. “When we started out, we always thought, ‘Oh, wow, it'd be really great to have Daddy Yankee as the executive producer of this show.’ Well, that's probably not going to happen, but maybe we can get someone else,” Searle says.
Having them as the North Star to always go back to and say, “We're looking for some more like this,” and they would chime in. We had those two on board from the beginning, and it was just such a blessing to be able to listen to them and soak up knowledge. Rodríguez: I would also add that I think it reflects Miami and the Caribbean diaspora as far as there is always music playing everywhere you go. It's just the soundtrack to everyday life.
