Lupita Nyong'O and Danai Gurira's 'Americanah' series adaptation will not be premiering anytime soon.
According to an exclusive report by Variety, the anticipated
adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie's
2013 novel of the same title, has been put on indefinite hold due to the
Covid-19 pandemic.
Production for the HBO Max series was originally billed to kick
off earlier this year but the unannounced date was pushed back due to the
pandemic. Co-showrunner, Lupita Nyong'O then
reportedly dropped out as it conflicted with other scheduled projects.
Both Gurira and Nyong'O were to serve as executive producers of
the now-abandoned show. It was to star Uzo Aduba, Corey Hawkins,
Zackary Momoh Tireni Oyenusi and Nyong'O who was to play
the lead character, Ifemelu.
