WATCH: Trailer drops for Netflix series starring New Utrecht grad, “Hamilton” star
From the stage to the screen.
Netlix, earlier this month, released its official trailer for its newest original series, “She’s Gotta Have It,” a contemporary, small-screen remake of Spike Lee’s 1985 debut film starring Bushwick native and New Utrecht High School graduate Anthony Ramos, who has already made a name for himself as the originator of both John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Grammy-Award winning musical “Hamilton.”
The show — in which the public school alum will play Mars Blackmon, a character originated by Lee in the now-30-year-old movie — centers on Nola Darling, a Brooklyn-based artist in her late 20s and her three lovers: Greer Childs, Jamie Overstreet and Blackmon.
