Nollywood, has been thriving for years — it’s the second biggest film industry after Hollywood with this standard, Netflix decided to partner with one of Nigeria’s leading production company EbonyLife Studios founded by Mo Abudu, to release its first original TV show out oof Nigeria “Blood Sisters.”

The show is Abudu’s latest project for Netflix as part of her multi-title deal with the platform.

Set in Lagos, “Blood Sisters” follows a Nigerian wedding where the bride — who is fed up of being beaten up by her partner — accidentally kills the groom the night before their big day. The show tackles themes of intra-family relationships, physical and substance abuse, love, commitment and relationships.

EbonyLife Studios CEO Abudu said: “‘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.”

Watch a trailer for “Blood Sisters” below:

Blood Sisters primarily tells the story of two best friends, Sarah and Kemi, who become fugitives after murdering a man. They find themselves running away from the law and the ruthless family of their victim.

Meeting the demands of “what it takes to be a blockbuster,” it is no surprise that the series has become a national sensation. However, as with other films, this four-part limited series has shortcomings.
