The American-Nigerian identical twin sisters Adamma and Adanne Ebo inked an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television.
The American-Nigerian identical twin sisters behind the “Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul” feature film have inked an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television.
As part of the deal, Adamma and Adanne Ebo will develop, create, and produce drama, comedy, and animation series for all platforms, Deadline reports. It’s a job that’s completely up their alley as the sisters boast writing credits on Amazon Prime’s Emmy-nominated series “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “Batman: Caped Crusader.”
Adamma Ebo has worked heavily alongside Donald Glover in director roles for scripted series like “Atlanta” and “Swarm.” Her next directing project includes Peacock’s mystery-drama series “Poker Face” Season 2. The two Spelman College graduates are elated to bring their talents to Sony Pictures Television.
“Sony is incredibly creator-forward, and for writers like us who have a ‘variety is the spice of life’ attitude for what we love to create and consume as avid TV lovers, partnering with the type of studio that truly supports creator-driven ideas is refreshing, creatively stimulating, and freeing,” the sisters said in a statement. “We can’t wait to make some really dope television with them.”
Sony executives expressed their excitement about welcoming Adamma Ebo, a UCLA Film School graduate, and Adanne Ebo, a Northwestern Law School graduate.
“Adamma and Adanne are dynamic and talented creators, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the Sony family,” Lauren Stein, Head of Creative, Sony Pictures Television Studios, said. “We are excited to support and explore their unique creative vision and storytelling in drama, comedy, and animation.”
