Confirming the development, Play Network boss Charles Okpaleke recently shared an Instagram post with the caption: “It’s about time.. She’s coming to Netflix.”

Starring Idia Aisien in her Nollywood debut, the Tosin Igho directed reboot centers on the titular character’s revenge mission to kill her parents’ murderers. The movie also stars Bovi Ugboma, Bimbo Ademoye, Zack Orji, Shaffy Bello and Ndidi Obi, the lead star from the original film.
