\n<\/p>\n

Comedia<\/a>n Ziwe is developing a new comedy series, The Nigerian Princess<\/em>, for Amazon.<\/p>\n

The show revolves around Zoe, a wise 20-something debilitated by student debt, who partners with a local scammer in a desperate attempt to make some money and achieve the American Dream, according to a report from Variety<\/em><\/a>. The two prep school grads quickly make for a formidable team, all while secretly plotting to scam each other.<\/p>\n

Ziwe debuted her self-titled late-night variety series on Showtime in May, with the season finale airing this past Sunday. Before that, she worked on Showtime\u2019s Desus & Mero<\/em>, as well as BET\u2019s The Rundown with Robin Thede<\/em>, Tooning Out the News<\/a><\/em> on Paramount Plus, and App<\/a>le\u2019s Dickinson<\/em>. Last year, she captured attention with her Instagram Live series, Baited<\/em>, where she interviewed iconic scammers like Caroline Calloway and Jeremy O. Harris.<\/p>\n

While her interview style is humorous and tongue-in-cheek, Ziwe isn\u2019t afraid to tackle serious issues. \u201cComedy is how I process trauma,\u201d said told the NY Post<\/em><\/a>. \u201cSo, it\u2019s not that this is something that I\u2019m choosing because I think it\u2019s a better route than being serious. This is a reaction to the world \u2013 the world is in such utter disarray that to me, it is laughable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Named as one of Forbes\u2019 30 Under 30 for 2021, Ziwe is also writing a book of essays called The Book of Ziwe<\/em>, which is expected to be released this fall. She is also working on new original music, which she plans to share later in the year.<\/p>\n

Ziwe is the creator and writer of The Nigerian Princess<\/em>, with Field Trip<\/a>\u2019s Will Graham and Hailey Wierengo executive producing. Janelle Monae, Chuck Lightning, Mikael Moore, and Nate Wonder\u2019s Wondaland Pictures will also executive produce.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
