Netflix users are flocking to social media in awe of a ‘modern day superhero story with a few twists’ which they’ve already binge-watched all of.
Superhero fans, prepare for a new favourite, because a new British superhero TV series has just dropped and is taking Netflix by storm.
The series was created and directed by Rapman – Andrew Onwubolu MBE (Blue Story) with Sebastian Thiel also directing three episodes. It stars the likes of Tosin Cole (Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens), Adelyao Adedayo (The Responder), Yasmin Monet Prince (Hanna), Eric Kofi-Abrefa (Blue Story), Josh Tedeku (A Town Called Malice), and Nadine Mills (The Strangers).
The story centres around five Londoners who all share a family history of sickle cell disease. However, instead of developing the disease, they end up obtaining superpowers and much more, eventually finding each other. But will they be able to survive when an organisation starts hunting them down?
The six-episode series, titled Supacell, was released on Netflix on June 27. Speedy viewers have already binge-watched their way through and flooded social media with their thoughts. In its first week, Supacell gained 33.5 million views and 6.4 million hours of views, hitting number two overall in Netflix’s Top 10 for the week of June 24 to 30, according to ScreenRant.
