Netflix Acquires Rights to Nigerian Sci-Fi Epic "Muur Chronicles" for Blockbuster movie!

In a groundbreaking move, Netflix has announced its acquisition of the highly anticipated Nigerian sci-fi novel Muur Chronicles for a multi-million-dollar film adaptation. The streaming giant reportedly beat out major Hollywood studios in a fierce bidding war, recognizing the novel’s unique blend of African mythology, futuristic technology, and high-octane espionage.

Sources close to the production reveal that pre-production is already underway, with filming set to take place in Abuja, Lagos, and select locations in outer space (yes, you read that right!). Director Ryan Coogler, known for Black Panther, is rumored to be in talks to helm the project, while Lupita Nyong’o and John Boyega are among the A-list stars eyed for key roles.

Netflix has also hinted at plans for a Muur Chronicles extended universe, potentially spanning multiple spin-off series and games. In response to the announcement, fans have flooded social media with excitement, with many already debating who should play Steve, the novel’s enigmatic protagonist.

More details to come…

Not bad.

At least it is a change from the usual...'I am a young innocent girl who is being kept from the man of my dreams by my stepmother who is a winch. Oh and I am an ophan.'
