Disney Branded Television Orders Animated Comedy Primos

The new animated comedy series Primos, created by Natasha Kline (director of Big City Greens, South Park) and based on her childhood experiences, has been ordered by Disney Branded Television.

Primos, meaning “cousins” in Spanish, follows eccentric 10-year-old Tater, whose 12 cousins move in with her multicultural Mexican American family for the summer. Each half-hour episode will be comprised of two 11-minute stories.

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

Meredith Roberts, senior VP and general manager of television animation at Disney Branded Television, said, “It’s been especially gratifying to see Natasha directing more than 30 episodes of our number one series Big City Greens while also creating her own new show that bears her authentic comedic voice and her family’s culture and values. We’re looking forward to delivering it to kids and families worldwide.”
