Idris Elba sparked a bidding war with streaming giants Netflix and Disney for new cooking show
Idris who has long been one of the leading contenders to be the next James Bond, is set to be the face of one of the next top cooking shoes in the Uk.
The show has already ignited a bidding war for a mega deal
The programme, which hasn’t began production yet, but is already in demand — with three streaming giants keen.
A source said: “Idris is a massive foodie and he’s created a television show all about African food.
“He has enlisted the help of his personal chef King Enekeme, who has worked with Naomi Campbell and Skepta, and catered for Idris’ wedding to his wife Sabrina.
“Together they have created this exciting show which will see Idris exploring the culinary roots of his favourite African foods. He’ll give cooking a go too.
“Word has got around and Netflix, Disney and Paramount+ have all shown interest. There is a bidding war going on but Idris is still working out where he thinks the show would be best placed.
“He has a first-look deal with Apple TV+ and his production company Green Door Pictures but he can take the show elsewhere.
“Idris is a perfectionist and he will want everything to be just right before he decides who to go with.”
Given the success of Idris’ previous projects, I have no doubt this will be just as good”
