Shanty Town follows the story of three Lagos State hustlers who unite to wage war against the biggest and most ruthless crime ring in the state.
The show’s stellar cast also includes Nollywood icons such as, Ini Edo, Zubby Michael, Nancy Isime and Uche Jombo.
Speaking on the upcoming release, producer of Shanty Town Chichi Nworah says: “’Shanty Town is a unique show in that it is at once different as it is familiar. The tale of redemption will especially resonate with audiences familiar with the grit and hustle mentality of Lagos, and indeed other fast-paced and vibrant cities around the world. We are spotlighting the underbelly of the city, and bringing to life the various character dynamics that exist beneath the cover of everyday “normal life,” thus telling a truly fresh and compelling story. I cannot wait for the entire world to see Shanty Town!”
Giant Creative Media, Champion One Entertainment, Minini Empire Production take credits for different production roles in the series directed by Dimeji Ajibola.
Other key casts of the crime thriller include Yaw Naija, Omowunmi Dada, Mercy Eke, Regina Daniels and Judith Audu.
Created by the duo of Xavier Ighorodje and Chichi Nworah, Shanty Town will debut globally and exclusively on Netflix on January 20, 2023.
