Today, Netflix and EbonyLife Studios have
announced that the series will now launch globally and exclusive to Netflix on
May 5, 2022
Anticipation is rife for Blood Sisters as
the show explores themes like intra-family relationships, physical and
substance abuse, love, commitment and relationships, as well as the test of
friendships when held up against challenging circumstances. Set against the
bustling backdrop of Lagos, Nigeria, this limited series is an ode to life in
the city as it brilliantly juxtaposes the various socio-economic divides in
Africa’s most famous commercial and social hub.
Speaking on the importance of telling the
Blood Sisters story, CEO of EbonyLife Studios Mo Abudu says: “Blood Sisters is
a crime thriller, which is a new genre for us, so the prospect was challenging
but very exciting! It was also a particularly unique and intense experience as
we shot during the pandemic, but we remained committed to the vision we share
with Netflix – to tell authentic and exciting African stories with superb
production values.”
Blood Sisters follows the 2020 multi-title
partnership between Netflix and Mo Abudu, through her media conglomerate
EbonyLife Media, which will see the addition of quality Nigerian stories to the
service. The critically acclaimed movie Òlòturé has already been released under
this partnership, and a highly anticipated adaptation of Wole Soyinka’s Death
and the King’s Horseman is set to follow.
Blood Sisters also features a roll call of
Nollywood’s finest, including screen legends and industry pioneers Ramsey
Nouah, Kate Henshaw, Uche Jombo, Segun Arinze and Joke Silva as well as film
heavyweights Nancy Isime, Ini Dima-Okojie and Deyemi Okanlawon, amongst others.
Fan favourites returning to the screen include Wale Ojo, Gabriel Afolayan,
Kehinde Bankole, Daniel Etim Effiong, Keppy Ekpenyong-Bassey, Maurice Sam,
Ibrahim Suleiman, Toke Makinwa and Okey Uzoeshi.
