Our casts come from West Africa, East Africa and South Africa,” Peace Hyde the show's co-creator and executive producer, mentioned in a statement. “Each cast member is relevant because of their profile and the work they have done in the media. Our selection criteria were mainly focused on the industry our casts occupied and also their interrelationships with each other.”
