The new unscripted series Coming From America debuted on HBO Max in September 2024. The show follows four African American families as they move to various parts of Africa, primarily Ghana, in search of a fresh start. The series is a reverse of the classic Coming to America narrative, as these families leave the U.S. to reconnect with their ancestral roots, hoping to find better opportunities and a deeper sense of belonging.
The families face challenges like culture shock and the difficulties of adjusting to a new continent, but they also experience the possibilities of building new lives in Africa. The show explores themes of identity, migration, and the African diaspora, offering viewers a raw and emotional look at the search for belonging(Blavity News & Entertainment)(SoapCentral).
The six-episode series airs weekly, with new episodes every Thursday through October.
