Between Worlds

Fraudster Olamide (Awe Abayomi) is mysteriously transported to Ilu Aarin, a powerful kingdom ruled by Oba Ajitoni (Femi Branch). Guided and tested by the Yoruba deity Esu (Soibifaa Dokubo), he becomes entangled in palace intrigues and ancient conflicts, while being forced to face his past. Meanwhile, in the present, detective Ifetozamiwa (Taiwo Ola) investigates a case linked to Ilu Aarin. 

Rooted in Yoruba mythology, the 10-part fantasy series takes viewers on a journey where the past and present collide in a mystical adventure.  

Between Worlds is created and executive produced by Emmanuel Uduma and directed by Edward Uka, Tyrone Terrence and Sola Roberts, with Terrence also serving as head writer.
