Speaking about the importance of relaying the narrative of the “Blood Sisters,” CEO of Ebonylife, Mo Abudu stated that; 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.”
The anticipated series, written by Craig Freimond and Zelipa Zulu, was shot in Lagos in September 2021 and is the newest collaboration between both parties following the past year’s ‘Castle & Castle’ and ‘Chief Daddy’ sequel.
