Nairobi-based Kukua launched its first series,
Super Sema, on its dedicated YouTube channel this week. Backed by the platform’s US$100-million original kids content fund, eight eps of the 20 x five-minute first season are already up, and the rest will continue rolling out from now until April.
Super Sema is produced in 2D-animation and follows a super-powered African girl who boasts real-world abilities like creativity, determination and STEM skills.
A second season of 10-minute episodes is already in the works, and Kukua has uploaded 40 eps from its spinoff live-action series
Sema’s Lab on the channel as well. The prodco also has plans in the works for books, STEM kits and toys.
