Speaking on the return of Castle & Castle, Mo Abudu, EbonyLife says, “We are tremendously excited about bringing audiences the sequel to Africa’s first legal drama series, , along with our partners, Netflix. Fans were riveted by Season 1, with a lot of talkability on social media, and we responded to their desire to see more. Castle & Castle Season 2 is a very sexy series and promises to deliver on high drama and some very unexpected twists and turns. Netflix really supports the African content industry, and I am absolutely delighted to be partnering with the streaming giant on another release.”
Castle & Castle first lit up TV screens in 2018. The procedural legal drama is set in a successful law firm run by married couple, Remi and Tega Castle (Dakore Ebuson-Akande and Richard Mofe-Damijo respectively). Their marriage comes under strain when both Remi and Tega decide to represent different sides of the law, and viewers returned every week to
see if the marriage would survive the business or vice versa and season two is no different.
“Remi and Tega Castle’s marriage is put to the test, in Season 2, more so than ever. A host of disputes crop up that affect their work and their inter-personal relationship. This season, the series tackles a lot of issues prevalent in contemporary African society. It will dare you to judge! I am proud of this production and very excited that it will premiere again on Netflix.” Richard Mofe Damijo says
Dakore Egbuson – Akande continues “My character ‘Remi Castle’ is a brilliant woman who loves her husband ‘Tega Castle’, (played by RMD, Richard Mofe Damijo.) However the couple have very conflicting ideas on their legal interests, which causes incredible tension. I am happy to be working alongside RMD again, someone I consider to be a living legend.
Castle & Castle Season 2 is everything amazing you can think of and more!”
Netflix is investing in Nigerian films and series across all genres and for all generations, including much-loved hits like King of Boys: The Return of the King; Castle & Castle & Castle 2, Swallow, The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives and Death and the King’s Horseman which are already in the pipeline.
