The 27-year-old said: “I am thrilled to partner with Netflix to develop a slate of non-English language feature films focused on African stories, and my team and I are excited to develop original material. We are proud to grow this arm of our business with a company that shares our vision.”
It is the latest sign that Netflix is upping its African content, with two other African originals, South African teen drama Blood & Water and animated series “Mama K’s Team 4,” set to premiere later this year.
