One we previewed not too long ago and we now have official confirmation on when the much anticipated locally produced show Queen Sono is set to release. Today Netflix debuts the first teaser and has officially announced that Queen Sono (starring the gorgeous Pearl Thusi) will release (exclusively on Netflix) worldwide on February 28, 2020.
Leading up to that, here’s what we know about it so far:
- Queen Sono will be available globally on February 28, 2020, at the same time in 190 countries across the world.
- Queen Sono is Netflix’s first script-to-screen, fully produced African original series with an all African cast and crew.
- Queen Sono was in production for over eight weeks and was shot in 37 different locations across Africa, including the Johannesburg CBD, Sandton, Park Station, Soweto, Lagos, Kenya, and Zanzibar.
- Viewers can expect diverse languages throughout the series, including English, Afrikaans, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Russian and French.
Queen Sono also stars Vuyo Dabula playing Shandu, an ex-spy who has taken a different path. Sechaba Morojele plays Dr. Sid, director of the SOG, with Chi Mhende, Loyiso Madinga, and Rob Van Vuuren, playing agents on his team. Kate Liquorish plays Ekaterina, heiress of an oligarch family with ulterior motives. Khathu Ramabulana plays Queen’s childhood friend, William, now in a relationship with Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa’s character, Nova. Abigail Kubeka plays Mazet, Queen’s beloved Gogo, who has always supported Queen – no matter the trouble she gets herself into.
The Synopsis: After the assassination of her mother, Queen Sono grows up to become a kick- ass yet unconventional spy devoted to protecting the people of Africa. During a dangerous field assignment, Queen unknowingly uncovers shocking details about her mother’s death, sparking her own truth-finding mission.
Created, written and directed by Kagiso Lediga, this is sure to be another great win for the local film industry. February 28, 2020 can’t come any sooner, we’re looking forward to it.
