Filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has announced that his movie “Anikulapo” will be expanded into a series.
During a recent forum, Afolayan explained that “Anikulapo” was initially conceived as a series and shared the story of how it came to feature on Netflix.
“We tested the waters with “Anikulapo” as a film, and it became a success. Then, the conversation started for a week to get it to the original proposition, which is the series. Currently, I am not giving details, but it is happening this year. We will do the first season of the series,” Afolayan told local media.
Afolayan also spoke about his fascination with exploring African mysteries in some of his movies.
“The story was informed by my interest in exploring the idea of Orisha and finding a way to merge it with entertainment and visual arts without pitching a particular religion,” he said.
He added that he aims to create masterpieces that capture the essence of Yoruba culture and the world beyond Nigeria.
