Africa Magic Unveils Shows To Look Out For This January

Africa Magic has announced an exciting lineup of shows for the first half of the year.

The broadcast company will premiere five new shows from this first quarter of 2025, introducing innovative formats that span its channels and offer a variety of genres to its audience.

URIRI

Currently airing is Uriri, a 39-episode fantasy drama that tells the story of a legendary warrior, Ogaga, who must confront his destiny and the darkness within while being haunted by the source of his strength. In his quest, a young maiden’s (Serome) fate becomes intertwined with his, making for a tale that oscillates between love, madness, and life.

Uriri features Seun Ajayi, Frank Konwea, Osarehia Oronsaye, Bobby Ekpe, and more, with Xavier Ighorodje as showrunner and executive producer. The TV show airs on Africa Magic Showcase at 8:30 p.m from Monday to Wednesday.

P.T.A (Parent. Teacher. Antagonist Association)

Still in January, we have PTA. The series follows the life of a teacher, Kennedy, and how a sequence of unfortunate events lead him to make a drastic decision, holding the attendees of his school PTA meeting hostage. Directed by Reuben Reng, PTA grants us an exposé into the lives of Kennedy and his hostages and how all these incidents link to his misfortune.

PTA features Levi Chikere, Segun Arinze, Eric Obinna, Dorin Oyesanya, Jsmile Uhuru, and more. The 26-episode drama airs on Africa Magic Showcase on Thursdays and Fridays by 8:30 pm.

DEEPER

This three-part limited series follows the story of David, a seemingly devoted husband whose hidden life unravels as his pregnant wife, rebellious daughter, and ruthless priest uncover layers of betrayal, crime, and supernatural forces, putting their family’s survival—and sanity—to the ultimate test.

Deeper unfolds a gripping tale of loyalty, deceit, and desperation, showing the lengths people will go to protect family, even as dark secrets threaten to destroy them. The series will air from Friday, 24th –  Sunday 26th, January, on Africa Magic Showcase at 9 pm.

INU JIN & OBI DI OMIMI

From the creators of Irora Iya, we have Inu Jin and Obi Di Omimi. In this all-new format, we see a crossover of both shows, featuring some of the same characters whose stories intersect the plot of the two shows. Both series are 26-episode dramas airing across Africa Magic Yoruba and Africa Magic Igbo. We follow the lives of the different characters and their willingness to do whatever it takes to get what they want. The series features actors like Jyro Asagba, Taiwo Ibikunle, Ralph Adeniyi, Oluchi Amajuoyi, Andy Chukwu, and more.

Speaking about the new slate of content, Dr. Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content & Channels, West Africa, MultiChoice, said, “Every year, we’ve consistently shown our commitment to delivering the best of African storytelling to your screens, and this year is no different.
