Season One Gippie's Kingdom Returns!

Monday 27th May 2013  8:00 PM

Season One returns to Bahamian television on May 27th on Cable 12.

In The Bahamas? 40 year history as an independent nation, it had never been done: a televised soap opera written, directed, performed and filmed by Bahamians. ?Gippie?s Kingdom? made history last summer, bringing romance, humor and melodrama into thousands of Bahamian homes. The makers of the historic TV series, Ian Strachan and Travon Patton, are at it again, aiming to produce a bigger, bolder second season for the show. They wrap up major shooting this month.

The 8 episodes of Season One featured some stellar performances by actors such as Chigoze Ijeoma who plays Gippie, Matthew Wildgoose (Kirby) and Shirley Taylor (Mama Tilda). The series centered on a violent crime that left Gippie?s son Junior lying in a coma. Through 8 episodes we get to meet all of Gippie?s children, including Evan, an ?outside child? born to Gippie?s former housekeeper. The story of Evan is particularly interesting as his mother, Estelle is a Haitian immigrant and the series explores the tensions that exist in communities because of ethnic differences. Season One returns to Bahamian television on May 27th on Cable 12.
