Elba will also executive produce the adaptation of Chinua Achebe's acclaimed novel, with production teams from 22Summers and Yoruba Saxon.

Idris Elba has been cast as Okonkwo, the protagonist in the series adaptation of Chinua Achebe's 1958 novel 'Things Fall Apart'.
The series is being produced by A24, with Elba's 22Summers and David Oyelowo's Yoruba Saxon also involved in the production.
The story follows Okonkwo, a fearless African warrior whose struggle against British colonization leads to a dramatic and heartrending confrontation.
No writer or showrunner has been attached to the project yet, and it currently lacks a network or streaming platform.
'Things Fall Apart' is considered one of the greatest novels ever written, having been translated into over 60 languages and adapted into various media formats previously.
