Chinua Achebe’s Novels to be Adapted to TV Series

BEVERLY HILLS, May 30, (THEWILL) – Chinua Achebe’s globally acclaimed novels, Things Fall Apart, No Longer At Ease and Arrow of God, may be adapted to the screen soon. THEWILL gathered that a media consultant, Dayo Ogunyemi and Joe Seldner, an entertainment and media consultant based in the US, are planning to adapt the novels to a television drama series soon.

The series will portray decades of social changes from the end of 19th century as seen in Things Fall Apart and the emergence of the 20th century as depicted in Arrow of God and the mid-20th pre independence century in No Longer at Ease. Selected Nollywood actors will be working together to ensure the television series receives the same applause the three novels have received over the years. Regarded as the founding father of African fiction, the prolific writer passed on in 2013 during a brief illness. His first novel, Things Fall Apart has been translated into more than 50 languages.
