Screen goddess and all-around entertainer, Ireti Doyle is returning to the screen on African Magic’s fiction thriller drama series, The Hidden. Speaking about the project, the mother of six, who doubles as the Executive Producer and Head Writer of The Hidden said, “The story examines the human condition, which is inexhaustible and always needs to be updated.”
“This project stretched me. I wore several hats and had several oversights alongside the mother of all – being the executive producer, meaning that ultimately the buck stops at my table. I think that I handled it well without dropping too many balls,” she added.
Asked why she chose The Hidden as her directorial debut, Ireti said: “This story was one of several in my drafts. It was created years ago and was originally called “Project Streetwise.” Same premise: the protagonist is someone that has experienced life and uses the same to help others.
“The main difference between the two is that the original story was centered on teenagers and young adults, while The Hidden is centered on grown folks. When I summoned the courage to pitch, I looked through my drafts, chose the most viable, and tweaked it.
