Desperate Housewives Nigerian Version To Be Filmed In Nigeria Under Ebonylife TV.


Plans for a local production of the Desperate Housewives series have been announced by Disney Media Distribution EMEA. Desperate Housewives Africa, to be filmed in Nigeria, will reportedly bring a new take on the series' darkly comedic view of suburbia to African audiences. The series will be co-produced by EbonyLife TV and Disney, and will beginning airing from Summer 2014. Mo Abudu, CEO & executive chairman, EbonyLife TV, added: "In Desperate Housewives we find one of the most amazing formats for TV and we are extremely excited to be co-producing it with Disney Media Distribution EMEA.

On our part, and in line with our mission which is to create original, homegrown and premium content with an African soul, we will work to ensure parity with the original storyline and production values that have characterised the global series, without compromising on that very important African essence. This is very crucial to our channel as it definitely is to The Walt Disney Company." The Nigerian series will feature an African cast of new emerging and established talents and will be filmed on location in Lagos, Nigeria where a local "Wisteria Lane" has been found. Production will closely follow the format and storylines of the original US version, with a uniquely Nigerian flavour. Weldone MO Abudu.
