Checkout The Exciting Official Trailer For “Malika: Warrior Queen”

Highly anticipated animated series by YouNeek Studios, “Malika: Warrior Queen”, is closer to its launch with the release of an official trailer.

The series, which has been three years in making, has a two-part comic series available for reading; and even more so in line with YouNeek Studios’ mission to create stories inspired by African history, culture and mythology.

The trailer sees the Warrior Queen fearlessly stand up to defend her people against enemies who have set their sights on seizing her expanding empire of Azzaz. Facing threats of invasion by foreign cultures, Malika now has to decide how to fight a war both inside her kingdom and outside of it.

“Malika: Warrior Queen” stars Adesua Etomi in lead as Malika, Femi Branch as Chief Dogbari, Deyemi Okanlawon as the WindMaker and King Bass, Blossom Chukwujekwu as Abdul and Sambassa Nzeribe as General Ras. It is executively produced by Niyi Akinmolayan of Anthill Studios.

“Here’s this strong, black, African character who is the ruler of a kingdom that also deals with a lot of issues that are personal to me and you; that are relatable,” Roye Okupe, Writer of the series/Founder of YouNeek Studios shared.

The series will be presented at the 8th Annual Lagos Comic Convention on September 21 in Lagos, Nigeria. It’ll then screen soon after on September 21 at the 6th Annual MECCAcon in Detroit, Michigan. Those who contributed to YouNeek Studios’ recent Kickstarter campaign will get first dibs on the pilot via a streaming link on July 24.
