Jay Jay: The Chosen One now streaming on Showmax
The highly anticipated animated series Jay Jay: The Chosen One is currently streaming on Showmax. The 13-episode series reimagines the childhood of legendary Nigerian footballer Augustine “Jay-Jay” Okocha.
Jay Jay: The Chosen One follows the life of Augustine, an 11-year-old boy who dreams of representing his school at a prestigious football tournament with a team made up of his rag-tag group of friends. The series charts Jay Jay’s passion for football, as well as his love for the animal kingdom, who, in return for his fight against illegal poaching, bestow superpowers upon him.
In the first episode of the show, we’re introduced to young Augustine who shares a special bond with the animal kingdom. He is soon rewarded for the kindness he has shown the animals over time and thus begins his great adventure.
Augustine, alongside his group of friends, overcome several obstacles in their journey to achieving their dreams, and the show takes viewers on a magical and enchanting ride.
The series will attract and motivate kids across Africa through adventure and sports while allowing them to see themselves represented in the characters positively and educationally.
