The term “royalty” is one of the most beloved words in the world. Although there are other royal families throughout the world, the drama and relationships of the British Royal family have continued to captivate the attention of the public for many years and still making headlines every week. 

Freeform is therefore capitalizing on people’s obsession with the monarchy by presenting a fresh, unscripted series called Royal Rules of Ohio.

Call it the African Kardashian, because the Agyekum family—which consists of sisters Thelma, Brenda, and Nana—as well as their mother Delali, also known as Mama Dollars, and father Yaw, also known as Akili Bobo—is the focus of the documentary series.

The episodes revolve around the three sisters’ opulent lives as they navigate their twenties in Columbus, Ohio, as the daughters of royal heirs of two of the most powerful and rich Ghanaian kingdoms. As stated in the official logline, privilege comes with great responsibility.” 

Viewers will get a peek into the sisters’ parallel lives behind closed doors, which could damage their family’s illustrious reputation.

This documentary shows how the sisters struggle to maintain their family’s standing in society while living in America, which draws attention to every aspect of their lives, including their drinking and partying, in the official teaser for the new show, which was unveiled on Thursday.

The Docuseries is scheduled to make its premiere on May 15 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on Freeform. Meanwhile, on May 16, fresh episodes of “Royal Rules of Ohio” will be available for streaming on Hulu.

The “Royal Rules of Ohio” documentary is produced by eOne’s unscripted business, a division of Lionsgate Alternative Television.
