Netflix's official teaser for Donald Todd's new limited series, Florida Man, sees Mike Valentine (Édgar Ramírez) returning to his hometown of Florida where he finds himself amid a bizarre series of crimes. The term "Florida Man" has become a popular meme in recent years due to Florida men frequently making the news for bizarre and absurd actions and crimes. Now, it seems the popular internet meme has sparked a television series to further delve into the absurdities that Florida seems to attract.

Netflix dropped the official teaser trailer for Florida Man on March 3.

The teaser offers a first look at Ramírez's detective Valentine and the chaotic chain of events that unfold when he returns to his home state of Florida. The teaser promises that Florida Man is full of sunshine, shady secrets, crimes, and chaos, much to the chagrin of Valentine, who would rather leave the state behind for good.
