Wura,’ the riveting tale from Showmax that has kept viewers spellbound over two seasons will premiere its third and final season tomorrow, Monday, September 23, with two episodes released each week.
In the trailer for the new season, the story picks up right where it left off with all of Iperindo buzzing in preparation for Tumi and Jeje’s wedding. However, unforeseen circumstances arise, threatening their union, including ghosts from both their pasts.
