Inwang says the project spent six years in conception, an unusually long runway in an industry known for compressed schedules. That time raises expectations for narrative architecture and character continuity.
Streaming series can widen Nollywood’s genres and export reach, but platforms should not become black boxes. Transparent commissioning, residuals and performance information matter to the people who make the work.
