Joining Coel, along with previously announced stars including Thandiwe Newton (Wednesday), Maxine Peake (I Swear), Danny Sapani (Halo) and Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who), will be Bukky Bakray, the star of Rocks who previously won the EE BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2021.
The cast will be rounded out by Michael Owusu Addo, Joselyn Dumas, Sister Deborah, Adjetey Anang (Things We Do for Love), Akofa Edjeani (I Sing of a Well), Roselyn Ngissah (Away Bus), Akrobeto (Sam Loko), Godwin Namboe (Potomanto) and Lady Jay, with the latter playing herself.
The synopsis for the series says: "British-Ghanaian novelist Henri (Coel) is on the run – from herself, her life, her partner, and that weird guy at her book talk. When she ends up in Ghana, her ancestral homeland, she finds herself submerged in an altogether different world.
"Amidst new friends, fresh joy, and many different and nuanced relationships, Henri also finds secrets, lies, difficulty and denial - leading her to question everything about herself, her heritage and her family."
"The process of creating FDOE thus far has been a beautifully intimate experience, and I am excited to embark on the next phase to eventually offer this as another televisual gift for anyone willing to accompany Henri on what will be a wild odyssey!"
