The ‘I May Destroy You’ creator and star is here to save you from mid TV.
Four years after becoming a cult favorite and critical darling with the release of her Emmy-winning dramahas announced her next project. She’ll be writing, executive producing and starring inwas semi-autobiographical, with the story inspired by Coel’s real-life experience of being drugged and sexually assaulted at a nightclub. The series starred Coel as Arabella, who tries to piece together both the night of her assault and her life in the aftermath.
Henri is stuck. Work has dried up, her relationship is going nowhere. So when she's offered a job on a film in Ghana, West Africa—her parents’ homeland, where her estranged father lives—she can't resist the chance to reconnect with him and the country of her heritage.
Coel, who was raised in London by her mother, a Ghanaian immigrant, said she hopes the series “will engage viewers from all over the world,” adding, “I can’t wait for audiences to go on Henri’s journey with her.” Coel has described her time as the only Black student at her primary school in East London’s Tower Hamlets as “very unhappy,” though she went on to have a better experience at second school, where she found a close group of Black girlfriends.
“Yet again, Michaela delivers a highly original, singular story that explores the relationship between England and Ghana via a second generation British-Ghanaian woman who takes up the opportunity to return to the homeland of her parents and finds herself encountering a cast of memorable characters and experiences that force her to face some painful home truths,” VAL producers Phil Clark and Robert Troni, who worked on, said.
