Black American entrepreneur and media executive Cheron Griffin has announced the expansion of her television franchise into Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa.
The announcement follows the launch of Wild Horse TV, an independent streaming platform designed to empower content creators through greater ownership, global distribution opportunities and direct audience engagement.
The expansion of the Preachers’ Exes franchise aims to secure content partnerships with filmmakers in Nigeria and Uganda as part of a broader mission to connect African and Diaspora storytelling through independent media.
Griffin, a television producer, author and speaker, said she has dedicated her career to producing content that inspires healing, personal growth and meaningful conversations across cultures.
After spending 13 years developing the Preachers’ Exes franchise, she launched Wild Horse TV to create opportunities for creators who often struggle to retain ownership and control of their content through traditional distribution channels.
Through the platform, Griffin said she is building a global ecosystem focused on creator ownership, independent storytelling and stronger connections among audiences across the African Diaspora.
What began as a controversial concept in 2013 has since evolved into an international franchise, a growing media company and a movement centred on ownership, representation and authentic storytelling.
Beyond expanding the franchise, Wild Horse TV is also acquiring and distributing content from filmmakers across Africa and the global Diaspora. The platform offers films, television series, documentaries and original programming aimed at connecting cultures through storytelling.
The company is also preparing to launch the official Wild Horse TV mobile application, which it said will make its content more accessible to audiences worldwide.
“For too long, creators have been told they must sacrifice ownership in exchange for opportunity,” Griffin said.
“Wild Horse TV was built to challenge that model. We are creating a platform where creators can maintain greater ownership of their work, reach global audiences, and build sustainable revenue while telling stories that matter.”
She said Preachers’ Exes was never simply about relationships.
“At its core, it’s about healing, reclaiming your voice and finding the courage to rewrite your story. Expanding the franchise into Africa allows us to continue these conversations on a global scale while creating opportunities for collaboration among creators throughout the Diaspora.”
The launch coincides with the premiere of Preachers’ Exes of Houston, the first season of the franchise to debut on Wild Horse TV.
The six-episode docu-reality series follows women whose lives have been shaped by relationships with pastors and church leaders while exploring themes of faith, healing, resilience, identity, spiritual abuse and personal transformation.
The first episode is currently available free to viewers worldwide.
Looking ahead, Griffin said she believes the future of entertainment belongs to creators who build their own platforms rather than rely solely on traditional media gatekeepers.
“Our goal is bigger than a streaming platform. We’re building a global home for storytellers. Whether they’re in Houston, Lagos, Kampala, Johannesburg, London or Atlanta, we want creators to know there is a place where their stories matter.”
