DESCRIPTION:
(from Starz's press release, December 2021) STARZ announced today it is in development on "Queen Nzinga" executive produced by Yetide Badaki ("Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas," "American Gods"), Mo Abudu (Òlòtūré, The Royal Hibiscus Hotel), Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson ("Power" Universe, "BMF") and Steven S. DeKnight ("Spartacus," "Daredevil"). The scripted drama series will chronicle the amazing life of the famed African Warrior Queen to be played by Badaki. A search for the series' showrunner is currently underway. The remarkable true story of Nzinga, warrior queen, takes place in 17th century Angola. This is the legendary tale of Nzinga's transformation from an innocent princess into a fearless warrior queen who rages a ferocious 40-year guerrilla war against the kingdom's formidable enemies, and the cruel subjugation of her people by Portuguese slavers. Nzinga would come to sacrifice everything to defend her people's dignity, liberty and freedom. On seizing the crown, Nzinga, the first-ever female ruler, decreed - "Call me king." |
