After 260 episodes and three incredible seasons, Wura, Showmax’s first Nigerian original telenovela, has concluded. The highly anticipated finale aired on April 15, marking the end of an era for the streaming platform’s most celebrated series.
The show’s captivating storylines, complex characters, and exploration of power, betrayal, and redemption resonated deeply with audiences across Africa. According to This Day, Wura also earned multiple nominations at the 2024 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, including Best Writing in a TV Series and Best Scripted Series.
Created by award-winning filmmaker Rogers Ofime, Wura was a groundbreaking production, offering a Nigerian adaptation of South Africa’s The River. Set against the backdrop of the gold mining industry in Osun State, it captured Nigerian culture and societal themes.
Scarlet Gomez, who portrayed the lead character Wura-Amoo Adeleke, delivered an unforgettable performance. Her character, a seemingly perfect wife and mother who also runs a ruthless gold mining empire, kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
As the finale unfolded, fans were treated to shocking twists, emotional payoffs, and the ultimate consequences of Wura’s ambition. Long-buried secrets emerged, relationships were tested, and key characters faced their fates in dramatic fashion.
Dr. Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice, commented on the show’s success. She expressed, “We are thrilled by the overwhelming response from fans who have been part of this journey since episode one.”
With its 260 episodes, Wura became Showmax’s longest-running Nigerian original series. The telenovela’s dramatic storytelling and stellar cast, including Yomi Fash Lanso, Carol King, Ego Iheanacho, and Martha Ehinome, left a lasting impact on viewers.
The show’s finale may have marked the end of an era, but Wura will remain a pivotal part of Showmax’s African originals. It set a new benchmark for Nigerian drama, inspiring future productions on the platform.
