“The Origin: Madam Koi Koi” has maintained its top spot as Nigeria’s most watched show on Netflix for three consecutive weeks, the director, Jay Franklyn Jituboh, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
It joins the likes of “The Black Book”, “Ijogbon” and “Jagun Jagun”, which have all topped the Netflix charts this year.
Written by Jibutoh and Dale Falola, “The Origin: Madam Koi Koi” tells the story of a dark spirit that reawakens after being forgotten for decades to seek vengeance on a community that must pay the ultimate price.
Puzzled by the deaths of three people in the town, two inspectors, played by Deyemi Okanlawon and Baaj Adebule, go out to seek answers and soon get mixed up in the drama.
Co-produced by Jituboh and Michael W. Ndiomu, the project features Ireti Doyle, who plays the school administrator, Chioma Akpotha, who plays a Catholic nun, Chukwuka Jude, Martha Ehinome, Nene Aliemeke, Tolulope Odebunmi, Omowunmi Dada, Ejiro Onojaife, Chuks Joseph, Kevin T. Solomon, Temidayo Akinboro, Iremide Adeoye, and Racheal Emem Issac.
The first part of the show premiered on 31 October 2023, while the second part premiered on 7 November 2023.
