Title

Accra Flow™ – The Animated Show

Format

Animated half-hour ensemble comedy series

(2D or stylized 3D, multilingual dubs – English, Twi, Hindi, Pidgin)

Setting

Modern-day Accra, Ghana — the office of a quirky start-up media company, surrounded by food stalls, jam-packed cafes, beach bars, and chaotic traffic. The show flows between office life, nightlife, romantic mess, side hustles, and unforgettable food culture.

Tone

Fast, flavorful, funny, and heartfelt. The Office meets Boondocks with Insecure energy—but African. Lots of Pidgin English, Ghanaian slang, music, cultural clashing, side-eyes, and deep soul. Equal parts humor and heart.

Premise

At KeleWele Media, a diverse group of underpaid but passionate creatives try to balance office deadlines, friendship, flirting, and dreams. From viral campaigns to broken ACs and who-owns-the-fridge drama, they escape to the real heartbeat of Accra—street bars, jollof feuds, chai stalls, and after-hours confessions.

It’s Ghana’s animated soul, served hot with plantains, beats, and chaos.

Core Characters

• Kwame “Flex” Mensah (Main): Graphic designer, sneaker addict, loves afrobeats and food more than deadlines. Always late. Always funny.

• Anjali Desai (Indian-Ghanaian): Social media manager. Born in Kumasi, speaks Twi and Hindi fluently. Calm on the surface, but deadly with clapbacks.

• Kojo “Spitfire” Badu: Ambitious content creator and rapper on the side. Loud, proud, and constantly filming himself.

• Ama (Office Manager): No-nonsense queen who runs the place like a Ghanaian auntie runs a wedding. Secretly writes romance novels.

• Jojo & Papi (IT Duo): Tech bros who also sell fried chicken out back. Hilarious best friends.

• Big Auntie Doris: Street food vendor with wisdom, sass, and the best suya in the city. Serves food, life advice, and insults.

Sample Episode Ideas

• Ep 1: “Who Ate the Jollof?”

An office-wide fight breaks out over fridge etiquette, leading to a dramatic jollof cook-off with food judges from the café next door.

• Ep 2: “Twi-Fi Problems”

The office Wi-Fi dies. Anjali builds a spiritual hotspot using incense and coconut oil. It actually works.

• Ep 3: “Deadline & Chill”

Kwame has to work late with Anjali and ends up confessing a long-held crush—until her chai knocks him out.

• Ep 4: “Return of the Plantain Queen”

Big Auntie Doris vanishes. The team must find her and fight off a competing fried yam gang at midnight.

• Ep 5: “Spitfire’s Big Drop”

Kojo drops a diss track about the office boss. It goes viral. Now HR wants to make him the face of the company.

Use Case or Experience Flow

Viewers binge this show for laughs, cultural flavor, relatability, and rhythm. It becomes the go-to feel-good, funny, multicultural animated series for the global South. Audiences from Ghana to India to the UK and US resonate with workplace chaos, street food glory, and friendship dynamics.

Spiritual / Emotional Outcome
