Ourikathe series created by the rapper BubaClément Gournay and Clément Godart, arrives on the streaming platform on end of March 2024, distributed worldwide. To prepare its subscribers, Prime Video has unveiled a first teaser. A short teaser, but dense and tense enough to make us immediately grasp the stakes of this series with its detective intrigue and presented as an “urban western”.
Ourika follows the Jebli family, in 2005. Members of this family run a cannabis business, but it collapses when riots in the French suburbs. While Driss (Adam Bessa) was destined for a career in finance, he takes over the family business, under the pressure of his older brother’s debts that he wants to pay off. In front of him, a young policeman, William (Noham Edje), is determined to take him down. Around these two actors, the cast also includes Salim Kechiouche, Max Gomis, Meriem Serbah, Sawsan Abès and even the “Duke” himself, Elie Yaffa aka Buba.
The first images (video at the top of the article) set the tone for a very realistic series and promise a show that is as tense as it is explosive.

This will be Booba’s first appearance as an actor, but in a small role. He explained it in March 2021, during an interview on the set of C this evening.
I’m writing the series with a friend. He writes more than me but I participate. We already have more or less four seasons. (…) I will act in the series, I don’t have a leading role, but this way I create a role for myself because… I don’t pretend to be an actor, I’m not trying not to be DiCaprio. So I create a small bespoke role for myself where I don’t talk too much, so I don’t make mistakes.
