Posted on April 15, 2025

Showmax’s first Nigerian original telenovela, Wura, aired its highly anticipated final episode on Tuesday, April 15, marking the end of an era for one of the streaming platform’s most celebrated series.

Since its debut in January 2023, Wura has captivated audiences with its gripping storylines, complex characters, and unflinching exploration of power, betrayal, and redemption.

Produced by award-winning film-maker Rogers Ofime, Wura has made history as Showmax’s longest-running Nigerian original series, spanning three seasons and 260 episodes.

The show follows Wura-Amoo Adeleke, played by Scarlet Gomez, a seemingly perfect wife and mother who doubles as a ruthless CEO of Frontline Gold Mine. Her duality has kept fans on the edge of their seats as her secrets unravel in dramatic fashion.

The finale delivered on its promise of shocking twists and emotional payoffs as Wura-Amoo Adeleke (Scarlet Gomez) faced the ultimate consequences of her ruthless ambition. Long-buried secrets came to light, relationships were tested to their limits, and the fates of beloved characters were sealed in dramatic fashion.

Dr. Busola Tejumola, the Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice commented: “We are thrilled by the overwhelming response from fans who have been part of this journey since episode one. Wura has set a new benchmark for African originals on streaming platforms, and we couldn’t be prouder to have created a show that resonated so deeply with audiences across the continent.”

Wura, a bold adaptation of South Africa’s The River, set against the backdrop of the gold mining industry in the Iperindo community of Osun state and tailored to reflect Nigerian culture and societal themes, has seen acclaimed performances from its stellar cast including Yomi Fash Lanso, Carol King, Ego Iheanacho, and Martha Ehinome.

The series also received multiple nominations at the 2024 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, including Best Writing in a TV Series and Best Scripted Series.

As Wura bows out, it leaves behind a legacy that will inspire future African productions to aim higher in storytelling excellence.
