Third and Final Season of ‘Wura’ Premieres Monday 

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. Meanwhile, Wura’s carefully constructed empire begins to crumble, as her enemies are fast closing in and ready to strike.

“The finale is packed with compelling plots and intricate character developments that will leave fans in awe,” said showrunner Rogers Ofime. “The entire production team has given their all, and I can confidently say that this season will deliver breathtaking performances that will linger in the minds of viewers long after the credits roll.”

In the first season of ‘Wura,’ viewers were introduced to the powerful yet ruthless Wura-Amoo Adeleke (Scarlet Gomez), the unyielding CEO of Frontline Gold Mine. As she navigates the challenges of leading her mining empire in Iperindo, Osun State, Wura stops at nothing to protect her legacy, often crossing ethical lines and making enemies along the way.

The gripping narrative unfolded in the second season around her complex relationships, particularly with her family, and the dark secrets that threaten to unravel her carefully constructed world. With dramatic twists and intense confrontations, the first two seasons captivated audiences by revealing the lengths Wura would go to to maintain her power, setting the stage for an even more explosive third season.
