SBTV and Cardiff Productions‘ show Unapologetic has received a series order from Channel 4. This late-night topical discussion program, hosted by DJ Yinka Bokinni and social media influencer Zeze Millz, was initially developed as part of the broadcaster’s Black to Front Project content lineup.

The series follows the success of the pilot episode, which addressed pressing issues such as Black Lives Matter, football, racism, and colorism, featuring notable guests including Terry Crews, Troy Deeney, and Gary Younge. The upcoming series promises to include figures from both the political sphere and popular culture, as well as those directly involved in notable controversies. It aims to continue challenging perceptions around the discourse permitted for Black individuals.

The series was commissioned by Shaminder Nahal, the commissioning editor for Channel 4 Specialist Factual, and will be produced by SBTV and Cardiff Productions, with executive producers including Isaac Densu, Duncan Eaton, Pat Younge, and Maxine Watson.

Shaminder Nahal expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “The Black to Front Project is about amplifying Black voices and talent in front of and behind the screen – and above all, about making this an ongoing conversation. So I couldn’t be more delighted to commission a six-part series of Unapologetic for Channel 4. This thoughtful, energetic, and truly unapologetic late-night debate show is an incredible platform for two of the most exciting talents around – Yinka Bokinni and Zeze Millz. I’m thrilled to be collaborating with them, and with SBTV and Cardiff.”

Jamal Edwards from SBTV added, “We are thrilled that the pilot was so successful and excited to be producing more episodes with the extremely talented Yinka Bokinni and Zeze Millz. Nurturing new talent is central to what we do at SBTV, and as we expand into television production, we are grateful to Channel 4 for commissioning six new episodes of Unapologetic, thus allowing us to showcase more emerging talent.”

On a similar note, Pat Younge from Cardiff Productions remarked, “Unapologetic provides a unique space within UK television, allowing Black voices across the political spectrum to engage in meaningful discussions on their terms. I’m delighted that the potential of the pilot has been recognized by Channel 4, and I look forward to collaborating with SBTV, Yinka, and Zeze to bring this series to life.”
