Just as Big Brother Naija Season Five is entering its final days, the organisers of the show, MultiChoice Nigeria, have announced the launch of local telenovelas, Enakhe. The drama will premiere on September 28, 2020, one day after the BBNaija finale.
Enakhe, set in modern-day Benin City, tells the story of a rebellious daughter who suddenly loses her father. These circumstances force the titular character to grow in every way possible to become the leader of her extended family.
She also has to take over the family’s criminal empire; while contending with antagonists both physical and otherwise; as Enakhe not only inherits his business empire but also his deepest darkest secrets. The new TV series contains elements of crime drama and African fantasy, with a storyline that will keep your eyes peeled.
The series was shot in Edo with a cast and crew made up mostly of indigenes of the state. Enakhe features a stellar cast; including notable names like Alex Usifo, Ivie Okujaye, Lancelot Oduwa Imaseun, and Lota Chukwu among others.

Enakhe will show exclusively on Africa Magic Showcase starting from Monday. The new telenovela is a demonstration of MultiChoice Nigeria and Africa Magic’s commitment to investing in the Nigerian creative industry and local talents while telling stories that will resonate with customers.
