Bionic Buzz® covered the red carpet of Amazon Freeve’s season premiere of Primo at the world famous Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA. From executive producer Michael Schur (The Office) & NYT Bestselling author Shea Serrano, Primo is a coming-of-age comedy series that has all eight episodes available to stream now exclusively on Amazon Freevee in the U.S., the UK, Germany, and Austria. The single-camera comedy, inspired by Serrano’s life growing up in San Antonio, TX, follows Rafa Gonzales, a wide-eyed 16-year-old being raised by his clever mother, Drea, and his five overbearing uncles (Rollie, Mike, Ryan, Jay, and Mondo) as they live their lives on the southside of San Antonio. Rafa is at an inflection point, as three big life moments coincide: he and his friends are nearing the end of high school; he’s pretty sure he just met the girl of his dreams; and he just found out he has a real chance to become the first person in his family to go to college. Over the course of the series, the group—Rafa, his mom, uncles, friends, and crush—will all affect each other and help one another grow in ways they weren’t expecting, whether they like it or not.
Our host Dante Greco got to interview the cast of Primo featuring Carlos Santos ‘Ryan,’ Christina Vidal ‘Drea,’ Efrain Villa ‘Mondo,’ Henri Esteve ‘Mike,’ Ignacio Diaz-Silverio ‘Rafa,’ Johnathan Medina ‘Jay,’ Johnny Rey ‘Rollie,’ Martin Martinez ‘Miguel,’ Mimi Fletche ‘Esther,’ Nigel Siwabessy ‘Harris’ and Stakiah Lynn Washington ‘Mya.’
