Michaela Coel Sets New HBO, BBC Drama Series ‘First Day on Earth’
Michaela Coel is set to star in, write, and executive produce a new drama series that is being co-produced by HBO and the BBC.
Titled “First Day on Earth,” the official logline for the series states, “British novelist Henri (Coel) is stuck. So when she’s offered a job on a film in Ghana, West Africa – her parents’ homeland, where her estranged father lives – she can’t resist the chance to reconnect with him and the country of her heritage. But when she arrives neither the job nor her father turn out the way she expected, and soon Henri has to deal with danger and hypocrisy, form new friendships, lose her illusions, and create a new sense of identity – one that might leave her stronger, but could also break her.”
