Far from home

This article discusses the possibility of Far From Home season 2 and the renewed or canceled status of the Nigerian Netflix series.

If the fan interest is there then the story might logically follow, but we predict that Far From Home will not be renewed for a second season. Taking that basic premise of shows like [Elite](https://readysteadycut.com/2022/11/18/elite-season-6-review/) and giving it a fairly distinct vibe helps to position Far From Home as a worthwhile outing in an overstuffed genre, and those who discover and enjoy it may be wondering about its future. As ever, Netflix will be waiting to see how the show performs both critically and in terms of watch hours, and they’ll be monitoring the drop-off of those viewing figures especially.

The complete cast of the show includes Funke Akindele, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Mike Afolarin, Elma Mbadiwe, Adesua Etomi, Bolanle Ninalowo, and Bimbo Akintola.

All in all, the series is a sluggish and over-dramatic watch, along with a conviction-ridden job from the actors and writers. The show lacks nearly everything to generate a fraction of intrigue and feels highly stretched and complicated. This five-part show tries to establish all the elements of drama, thriller and a little bit of comedy, into one single unit and fails desperately in the attempt. One day, in an attempt to hustle his way out, he steals a load of cash from the local pub owner/drug mafia and involves himself in an erratic mess. Meanwhile, the protagonist also enrols himself in a top university in Africa, only to become the local drug peddler on the campus. Moreover, the young and ambitious lad from Lagos is mostly involved in cleaning homes, and sells street art, as a way of supporting his dreams.

High Effect: A video from the party goes viral, fording Carmen to come face to face with the consequences of her actions. Ishaya meets his hero, and the experience crushes him.

Written by Dami Elebe, Netflix's first Nigerian young adult show, 'Far From Home', follows the story of a talented and charismatic teenager from a poor.

But he soon discovers a huge secret that threatens his newfound status and the safety of his family. As he is thrown into the world of Nigeria’s elite, the young man is faced with the challenges and dynamics of wealth and social hierarchy. Written by Dami Elebe, Netflix’s first Nigerian young adult show, ‘Far From Home’, follows the story of a talented and charismatic teenager from a poor family who is given the opportunity of a lifetime when he is awarded a prestigious scholarship to the most exclusive school in the country.

An artist cheats his way into one of Nigeria's top schools, and has to navigate the class issues there while keeping trouble away from his family.

He offers to go with her, but she doesn’t even apply when she finds out she can’t afford the application fee.

Far From Home season 1 review - a Nigerian teen drama built on bad decisions. This review of the Netflix series is spoiler-free.

This is partly due to the presence of “Government” ( Far From Home definitely has some of the right elements. [Blood & Water](https://readysteadycut.com/2022/11/25/blood-water-season-3-review/), [Netflix](https://readysteadycut.com/category/streaming-service/netflix/) are delivering another African Original in the form of Far From Home, a Nigerian series that blends a teen drama with a crime thriller and a cast who all, without exception, look too old to be in a school of any kind.

It looks like we’re going to walk away from Ishaya’s life in the slums with her family, unless the threats she has to deal with affect her family, like what we saw with Government and Rambo. If we move away from that and focus on the Wilmer School, it will probably feel very similar to other YA shows that take place in elite private schools, with similar overprivileged characters.

Nino B: I think rather than surprise the audience, Far From Home will help them arrive at a realization that we all, especially the young adults that will be watching, are like Ishaya than we know. I was a bit taken aback the first the first time I saw it on set though, I was like ‘Oh snap! I connected to the part of her that fixed situations and got things done. Nino B: Oga Rambo’s character is one that I’ve always wanted to play so I’m first of all glad that I got to do that on a global scale. Ishaya, despite his shortcomings, was also very relatable and I think the audience will share the same sentiment. We had a conversation about the characters they play on the show.
