‘Desperate Housewives Africa’ to Premiere Next Summer

EbonyLife TV and Disney Media Distribution EMEA released a joint statement Monday announcing that they will co-produce Desperate Housewives Africa, a new series with “an African soul” based on the ABC comedy-drama hit that aired in the U.S. for nearly a decade.

EbonyLife TV’s CEO Mo Abudu said the African version of the popular series will be filmed on location in a gated community of the upscale Lekki suburb in Lagos, Nigeria’s bustling economic hub.
