This launch is to be
preceded by a premiere in Lagos on April 28 where the new Desperate Housewives
of Africa will be introduced in person along with the all-African suburban
‘Wisteria Lane’ neighborhood where the series will be based.
Whilst the set location is still under wraps
for the time being, it can be confirmed that Desperate Housewives Africa will closely reflect the original multi-award winning
American version with a uniquely African flavour. Viewers can look forward to
an enthralling and spell-binding homegrown pilot that takes the Desperate
Housewives format as you once knew it to scandalously new dimensions.
According to Christine Service, Senior Vice President and Country Manager of The Walt
Disney Company Africa comments, “We are very excited that one of ABC’s hit television
series is being made for African viewers.
This is a first for the continent of Africa and we could not be more
proud of what we have seen so far of Desperate Housewives Africa.”
Mo Abudu, Executive Chairman and CEO of
EbonyLife TV, has this to say about the production. “Once again, I am pleased
to say that we are extremely excited to bring this rich, thrilling and
captivating drama to our local and global audiences. We have put in a lot to
maintain our premium homegrown quality of
production and our viewers
can absolutely look forward with great delight to watching a most riveting
adaptation of the multiple-award winning version from Africa; one with a
uniquely African essence that closely mirrors the format and storylines of the
multiple award winning American version.”
