Netflix’s new TV series, directed by Nigerian filmmaker and music video director Clarence Abiodun Peters, has an official trailer that premiered on October 11.

The Rebellion: Wives on Strike Three
The third entry in the Wives on Strike series, which debuted in 2016 and has a follow-up in 2018, is called The Uprising. The parody centers on a group of women who refuse to acknowledge their husbands’ extramarital affairs in an effort to persuade them to support a young girl whose father coerced her into an adulterous marriage. This revolution turns into a demonstration against gender-based violence in the neighborhood. Despite being funny, it provokes thoughtful discussion about significant problems that women face.

A three-part romantic comedy film called My Fairytale Wedding depicts the distinct realities of contemporary African women. The story centers on a 29-year-old lady who, in her desperation to find love, resorts to the unusual abilities of “kayanmata,” a love potion sold by a wealthy guy.
Playing the key roles, Ini Edo and Ramsey Nuoah personify the difficulties of contemporary love, the intricacies of relationships, and the intricacies of Nigerian wedding customs. My Fairytale Wedding presents “a refreshing reimagining of classic fairy tales, infused with African heart and soul and set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, Nigeria” and “delivers love, laughter and a sprinkle of magic,” according to the official logline.
