By Following her highly acclaimed “I May Destroy You” series, that show’s creator/director/star Michaela Coel is reteaming with HBO and The BBC for another series.
The networks will co-produce the project titled “First Day on Earth”. Coel created the series and stars as Henri – a British novelist in a rut in both life and love.
She gets a gig on a movie filming in Ghana where her parents were born and her estranged father lives. When she arrives, neither the job or her father are what she expected.
Various Artists Limited, which is co-run by “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong, is also behind the project. In a statement, Coel says:
“I am delighted to be working with VAL, HBO and the BBC again, and to partner with A24; thanks to all of their combined taste, care and expertise, I feel our show is in great hands. First Day on Earth is another very personal story for me which I hope will engage viewers from all over the world, and I can’t wait for audiences to go on Henri’s journey with her.”
Coel is writing the new series and will executive produce with Armstrong, Phil Clarke, Roberto Troni, Jo McClellan and Piers Wenger for A24. Filming will take place next year
