Showmax has announced the return of its highly anticipated original telenovela, Wura, for a second season.
The show, an adaptation of the South African telenovela The River, follows the lives of characters bonded and divided by the discovery of gold in Iperindo, a small community in Osun state.
Season two promises more intrigue, drama, suspense, and scandalous moments.
Season one was Showmax’s first and longest-running Nigerian telenovela, with gripping episodes that earned the lead cast and titular character, Scarlet Gomez, several nominations.
“Viewers can expect a rich tapestry of character development, as the major characters navigate through intense situations, make tough choices, and evolve in response to the ever-changing circumstances,” said Rogers Ofime, executive producer.
Wura Season 2 has been a labour of love for the entire team. We’ve poured our hearts and souls into making a telenovela that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats, just like Season 1. We can’t wait to share the next chapter of Wura’s story with our loyal customers, he added.
The cast includes Nollywood veterans and rising stars like Yomi Fash-Lanso, Carol King, Ray Adeka, Iremide Adeoye, and more.
