Desperate Housewives Coming To Lagos!
Popular American television comed drama-
mystery series, Desperate Housewives is to get
an African remake.
According to Nigerian network EbonyLife, they
have joined forces with Disney to give the
award winning show an African adaptation.
The show is reportedly still in the development
stages and is scheduled for a 2014 debut on
the channel which reaches 44 countries on the
African continent.
According to ebonylifetv.com, the show will
feature a pan-African cast and will be set in
Lagos, Nigeria, where it will also be shot.
"We are going to give the stories an African
flavor.
We will localize it, because there's
nothing that the West has that Africa doesn't
have: we love, we fight, we kiss, we make up.
We like all the good things in life.
There's good
and there's evil globally," Mo Abudu, CEO and
Executive Chairman of EbonyLife TV was quoted
saying.
The original US show, which starred big names
such as Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia
Cross and Eva Longoria aired for 8 seasons
between 2004 and 2012 and managed to win
numerous industry awards.
The Disney Desperate Housewives remakes
have reportedly proved very popular in
countries like Turkey, Colombia, and Brazil and
Nigeria hopes to follow suit.
