Exclusive: Imani Pullum talks Prime Video's coming-of-age drama spy series Classified
Coming to Amazon’s Prime Video on August 22 is the coming-of-age drama series called Classified, created by Kagiso Lediga and starring Imani Pullum, Christine Horne, and Sule Rimi.
Classified, a coming-of-age drama, follows 15-year-old Ella (Imani Pullum), a student in Oakland, California. Arrested at a protest and facing serious jail time, Ella avoids incarceration thanks to her stepmother, Dianne (Christine Horn), who has connections in high places. As part of the deal, Ella must leave her home in California and spend the remainder of her secondary education with her father (Sule Rimi) and Dianne in Johannesburg, South Africa. Ella’s world is turned upside down as she navigates a very different reality than the one she has known.
The series is executive produced by Kagiso Lediga, Tamsin Andersson, Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Rick Jacobs, Sean Furst, and Bryan Furst.
Previously, Imani starred opposite Will Smith in the Antoine Fuqua directed thriller, Emancipation, which is streaming on AppleTV+ and released theatrically in December 2022. She also played the recurring role of fan favorite ‘Topa,’ on the third season of Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville: New Horizons, which is streaming on Hulu and Disney+. Her first major acting role was in Disney’s Broadway touring production of The Lion King, where she portrayed ‘Young Nala’.
