“Postcard Series” has surged to the top of Netflix Naija’s most-watched list, leaving a trail of enthralled viewers and cementing its place in Nigerian television history.

Postcard Series masterfully blends the vibrant characters of Nigerian descent with the colourful scenery of India, creating a unique viewing experience that has captured the hearts of audiences across Nigeria and beyond. The show follows the journey of a young Nigerian woman who travels to India in search of her roots, only to find herself torn between two cultures and two loves.

The talented cast, includes Sola Sobowale, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Rahamu Sadau, Nancy Isime, Rio Kapadia, and Rajneesh Duggal, brings to life a poignant tale of love, family, and self-discovery.

The series is the brainchild of acclaimed creator and director, Hamisha Daryani-Ahuja, who skillfully weaves together the intricate tale of love, identity, and cultural exchange.

Shot on location in the vibrant cities of Mumbai and Lagos, the “Postcard Series” is a true reflection of the beauty and diversity of both Nigerian and Indian cultures.

The series has spent over 70 days on the top 10 Netflix charts and is charted in several countries across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

In the overall ranking list, Postcards surpassed Queen of Tears, Anikulapo rise of Sceptre and Bridgerton.

The Nigerian-Indian crossover content format passed its first test and showed immense interest after the successful global release of Namaste Wahala. On the journey of creating this interesting space, Showrunner and Executive Producer Harmisha Daryani Ahuja shares why she is excited about this collaboration’s future and what she has picked up since its release.

“I feel excited, motivated and invigorated…and I’m just really excited for the future because as we’ve discussed as well this could be a whole new genre. Cross-culture, borderless content, humans coming together no matter the country, no matter the background, no matter the culture is really what our world is made of right now.

We had initially made this show as an anthology and wanted to do it very differently from Namaste Wahala in the sense that the problems are a bit more relatable, there’s sometimes always not a happy ending,
Also, the idea behind it was for audiences to be able to watch and get to relate no matter where they’re from.And so I’m just very very excited that people saw all of this and are accepting our work”

Nollywood A-List talent, Sola Sobowale also comments on the love the show has received from audiences and why the show is a favourite.

“It is overwhelmingly good to see how everyone reacted to the show. Most importantly from both cultures, Nigerian and Indian. The blend of both Cultures was well executed on the screen which made it a dream for the viewers”
