Trivia & behind the scenes

/
Origins

South Beach was created by Matt Cirulnick and produced by Paramount Television for the network UPN.

Casting

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez served as one of the show's executive producers.

Casting

Rapper Pitbull appeared in the series as a special guest star, playing the character El Guerrero.

Reception

The show was panned by critics, with The Miami Herald joking that 'Cannibalism is about the only thing missing from this delirious new trashfest of hard bodies and soft brains,' and The Washington Post titling its review 'Bang, Bang, Bling, Bling, Blah, Blah.'

Reception

The Seattle Times criticized the dialogue as full of clichés, quotations, and blatant product placements such as characters asking 'Anybody got a Red Bull?'

Reception

South Beach ranked 152nd out of 156 original network series during the 2005–06 season, averaging only 1.6 million viewers.

Trivia

The series was canceled after only eight first-run episodes due to low viewership, and its fate was sealed when the newly formed CW network (merging The WB and UPN) chose not to renew it.
