Cheta M S2
The first season of Cheta M captivated audiences with its intricate exploration of love, power struggles, and spiritual intrigue. The series follows the story of Adanna and Nnanna, a couple navigating a complex world of love triangles, secrets, and community rivalries.
Season 1 ended on a dramatic note as Adanna and Nwoye’s wedding faced a series of shocking interruptions, from uninvited guests to Chidalu’s brazen attempt to hijack the ceremony. The fallout left fans desperate for answers, and Season 2 promises even more unexpected twists and emotional depth.
Returning to the series are talented Nollywood stars and rising actors, including Oluchi Amajuoyi and Kingsley Nwachukwu as Adanna and Nnanna, Ruby Okezie, Kalu Ikeagwu, Nonso Odogwu, Jsmile Uhuru, and Nnamdi Agbo. Season 2 will continue to unravel the power dynamics between Mgberi’s inner council and Ajaani’s king, Jideofor, played by Kalu Ikeagwu, with Ojigijaga played by Jsmile Uhuru, the spiritual shaman, adding another layer of tension.
