Nnedi Okorafor is creating a TV series company for Africanfuturist stories. The multi-awarded novelist revealed this on Facebook via a post on 16 April.

The company’s name is Africanfuturism Productions, Inc.

In a reply to a comment by the writer and University of Manchester lecturer Geoff Ryman, she wrote: “TV series are my focus right now. Film is too restrictive.”

No further plans have been revealed by the writer, whose 2011 World Fantasy Award-winning novella Who Fears Death is being adapted for HBO by A Song of Ice and Fire series author George R.R. Martin.

We cannot wait to learn more about this project.

Congratulations to Nnedi Okorafor.
