The award-winning drama returns with thrilling plotlines, plunging viewers into the gripping world of Wura, where power, betrayal and dark secrets collide in the most thrilling series finale yet.
“The finale is packed with compelling plots and intricate character developments that will leave fans in awe,” says 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,” he added.

In Season 1 of Wura, viewers were introduced to the powerful yet ruthless Wura-Amoo Adeleke, 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 Season 2 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.

At the 2024 AMVCAs, the title was nominated in the Best Writing TV Series and Best Scripted Series categories, while it won Best Web Series at the 2024 Gage Awards.
