Starring Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Johnny Rey Diaz, Christina Vidal, Henri Esteve, Martin Martinez, Jonathan Medina, Carlos Santos, Nigel Siwabessy, Efrain Villa, and Stakiah Lynn Washington, the Primo TV series is inspired by the life of co-creator Shea Serrano and follows a young teen being raised by his single mother and five uncles in San Antonio.
