BEVERLY HILLS, February 04, (THEWILL) – Sony Pictures Television’s (SPT) international production division has announced an exclusive first-look deal with Mo Abudu- owned media conglomerate, EbonyLife Media.
The company which includes EbonyLife TV, EbonyLife Films, and EbonyLife Studios will partner to develop scripted series centred on African culture.
The deal sees SPT get the exclusive first look on all new EbonyLife-controlled scripted television projects created, originated, or developed by or for EbonyLife and intended for global audiences.
The contents will be strongly rooted in Africa and connected to a global audience, through a shared identity and common values.
This is the second deal that SPT has done with EbonyLife, following the announcement of a three-project co-development/production deal in 2018. The first project announced as part of that development deal is a series inspired by the story of the Dahomey Warriors. The two-year exclusive first-look deal commenced in January 2021.
