Dede S1
If you’re a fan of riveting drama series sprinkled with a little romance and mystery, then you’ll absolutely love this drama directed by acclaimed talent Shirley Frimpong Manson.
This is no Cinderella story, but when a wicked stepmother is in the picture, it sure is going to be a bumpy ride for the stepchild in question. Dede focuses on the life of Dede, a rural teenage girl who is deceived by her stepmother to leave her family and life behind to work as domestic help in the home of the Robertsons. Here, she falls for the youngest Robertson son, while she struggles to achieve her own dreams. Will there be a fairytale ending to this story?
The cast is packed with A-listers: Adomaa Adjeman, Joselyn Dumas, Adjetey Annan, Anita Erskine, Gloria Sarfo, Lydia Forson and Dean Amegashie.
New episodes of Dede drop on Showmax at the same time as they air on Akwaaba Magic, daily Mondays to Fridays. Plus, binge-watch Dede from the beginning only on Showmax.
