Netflix's The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia Trailer
Netflix’s New Latinx Show Features a 15-Year-Old Female Rocket Scientist
Most teenagers have a lot on their plates, sure, but for 15-year-old genius Ashley Garcia, the leading lady of Netflix's newest Latinx series, The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia, life is a little bit different than your average teen. Ashley (Paulina Chávez), who started college at age 9 and is the youngest person to ever earn a PhD, just scored a job in California making robots for NASA — casual! Because she's spent her whole life in intensive schooling, the young robotics engineer and rocket scientist hasn't experienced a lot of the usual things teens go through, like having crushes and going to parties.
The new series, which was cocreated by Mario Lopez, navigates Ashley's new life in California — she moves in with her uncle Victor, a high school football coach who doesn't have the slightest clue how to be a parent — and the new experiences she faces as both a teenager and a young woman with an epic career.
Watch the trailer for the new Netflix series above, and keep reading to see some of the first photos from season one. Catch The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia when it hits Netflix on Feb. 17.
