In the midst of a global pandemic, Netflix rolled out its first original series that was produced and set on the continent of Africa. Blood & Water debuted on the streaming service back in May and it quickly became a worldwide hit. Now, the streaming service is heading back to South Africa for another series called Jiva. Starring Noxolo Dlamini, the series follows the life of a young woman who discovers that street dancing may be her ticket out of family drama, economic struggles and much more.
“This is a moment in time for the African narrative. This is just going to show you just how incredible we are,” Africa of Netlix wrote about the new series.
Jiva! is set to premiere on Netflix in June. While we wait for the new series, check out the trailer below.
