This African girl magic just won’t let up! Queens, it is our time. We keep breaking boundaries across the world in the diverse industries. There’s really no stopping us.
One Queen that is seriously slaying both in and out of the continent is South African actress, Pearl Thusi.
The star has indeed come a long way in her career. From her early beginnings as a presenter, to landing roles in popular international series like Quantico, to starring as a warrior princess in fantasy thriller, Scorpion King.
And now, Pearl is set to star in Netflix‘s first African original series, Queen Sono, which is set to begin production in South Africa in 2019.
According to Daily Sun:
Pearl will play a top spy in a South African agency who must tackle dangerous cases while facing the changing relationships in her personal life.
The series is created and will be directed by comedian and actor Kagiso Lediga.
According to Netflix, the series is set in the world of espionage with a touch of humour.
Announcing the news, Pearl took to her Instagram to state:
“It feels kind of crazy overtime I’m about to say it, I’m going to be starring in Africa’s very first Netflix original, this is crazy it is amazing not just for me but for everyone.”
We totally agree with Pearl. When one of us wins, we all win!
