BAFTA-award winning production company Expectation Entertainment has optioned comedian Njambi McGrath's debut novel 'Through The Leopard’s Gaze' to be made in to a six-part comedy/drama series.

Expectation's Nerys Evans & Charlie Leech who are behind the BAFTA-Award winning show In My Skin will be heading the project. The book is a raw and powerful memoir that traces the author's journey from her erratic and disturbing upbringing in Kenya to her outwardly settled London life.

Njambi (Radio 4's Edinburgh Nights, Loose Ends & BBC World Service Cultural Review) who has also recently had a radio 4 project shortlisted said: "I am very excited, humbled and grateful for the opportunity to be working with Expectation. From our earliest conversations, their vision and enthusiasm for retelling my story was apparent, and I really look forward to bringing this project to life."

McGrath now lives in London and was chosen by the judges as "top of the bill" at the 2019 New Act of the Year competition.
