Soon one more interesting Animation series is going live and the audience is waiting for it with all height of craziness and soon everyone across the globe will be able to stream the story of an all girl-team of African spies, who also happen to be four normal Zambian teens by day. This week, Netflix announced that it has picked up Mama K's Team 4, an animated series as its latest African content.
Mama K's Team 4 tells the story of four teenage girls living in the African city of Lusaka, in Zambia, who are recruited by a retired secret agent who wants to save the world.
It was created by Zambian writer Malenga Mulendema who grew up watching cartoons on TV and found herself asking why no heroes looked like her, and why they didn't live in a world that felt like her own.
She said: "In creating a superhero show set in Lusaka, I hope to introduce the world to four strong African girls who save the day in their own fun and crazy way. Most importantly, I want to illustrate that anyone from anywhere can be a superhero".
After teaming up Netflix with South Africa's Triggerfish, who have emerged as devoted tellers of African children's stories through animation and London-based children's entertainment specialists Cake. The Cape Town-based Triggerfish animation studio has consistently produced children's animation, despite a lack of funding and imagination. With Netflix in Africa, the story of African animation has become more hopeful.
The animated series is produced, written and designed by creators from Africa.
Netflix says they wanted to give African writers "the global platform on which to be heard" and that they were "excited to present this powerful and entertaining new animated series that brings Malenga's incredible and unique vision to life on Netflix".
Netflix haven't confirmed when the cartoon will be released, but when we find out we'll let you know!
