A Wedding That Goes Horribly Wrong Tells a Universal Story in Netflix’s First Nigerian TV Original ‘Blood Sisters’

Manori Ravindran International EditorNigeria’s entertainment industry, known as Nollywood, has been thriving for years — it’s the second biggest film industry after Hollywood — but a truly international, mainstream hit in the orbit of a “Squid Game” or “Money Heist” has so far been elusive.For a long time, that’s boiled down to a proclivity for insular stories that couldn’t easily travel beyond Nigerian viewership, combined with low production values.
