Netflix is expanding its streaming services to Africa as there have been several isolated deals with the likes of John Boyega to start producing African content for the platform.
Now the media streaming service and producer has partnered with Mo Abudu, renowned Nigerian filmmaker to create content straight out of Nigeria to the world.
The Nigerian media mogul is the owner of production company, EbonyLife, and together with Netflix, they will create two Netflix original series and several other Netflix-branded films.
Last Friday, Netflix’s lead for original series in Africa, Dorothy Ghettuba, said in a statement that, Abudu was Netflix’s top choice because of her “passion for creating high-quality, riveting multi-genre films.”
She said she was “thrilled” her work will be brought to life through a partnership with Abudu and Netflix.
