The American-Nigerian Ebo twins, Adamma and Adanne, have inked an exciting multi-year overall deal with 20th Television and 20th Television Animation, <\/strong>Variety<\/strong><\/a> reports. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filmmaking duo recently made their feature film debut at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival with \u201cHonk for Jesus, Save Your Soul,\u201d starring Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown. The highly critically acclaimed film will be released in theaters and on Peacock September 2nd. They\u2019ve also written for Amazon Prime Video\u2019s forthcoming series \u201cMr. and Mrs. Smith.\u201d Furthermore, Adamma directed an episode of Glover\u2019s \u201cAtlanta,\u201d along with three episodes “Hive” from Glover and Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the twins are developing \u201cSupashawty Girls, Funkamatic Bangbang\u201d with 20th Television Animation for Freeform. The synopsis reads as follows: \u201c<\/strong>Identical twins YEZE and TULE are your average college students\u2014but at the first hint of bullshit they transform into the superheroines FUNKADELIC and BANGBANG, using their powers (and frequently misguided efforts) to save a futuristic world that honestly\u2026doesn\u2019t always deserve to be saved.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c20th continues to be flexible in an ever-evolving TV landscape, while supporting various creative sensibilities,\u201d the Ebo twins told Variety. \u201cAnd as creators with a non-stop running list of ideas, we\u2019re super hype to have studio partners who are just as committed to adding and challenging the television cultural zeitgeist in both animation and live-action.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolyn Cassidy, the executive vice president of 20th Television, spoke about the studio\u2019s admiration for Adamma and Adanne\u2019s work. \u201cTheir talent and original storytelling as comedy creators and directors is undeniable and aligns perfectly with our vision to develop and bring innovative and dynamic comedic stories to all of our platform partners. It was a bonus to find out they\u2019re also longtime Disney fans!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
