Zari Hassan is returning in second season of ‘Young, Famous & African’

"The love for ‘YOUNG, FAMOUS & AFRICAN’, Africa’s First Netflix Unscripted Original Series has been incredible! Thank you to each and every one of you all for the love and support!" Peace Hyde, the British-Ghanaian television producer, who created the series, posted on her LinkedIn Monday.

"Well, it’s OFFICIAL! Season 2 of #YOUNGFAMOUSANDAFRICAN is coming! LET'S GO!"

The series, whose first season was released on March 18, was well received, but some people questioned the young in the title of the series, as most of the actresses are in their late thirties and early forties.
