Dilemma S1
Africa Magic’s new telenovela follows the lives of two estranged lovers – Kaineto and Kanan – who find their way back to each other after many years of separation. However, while love leads them back together, will it be enough to conquer all the challenges they will have to face?
Dilemma stars veteran Nollywood actors Shan George and Bob Manuel-Udokwu, and new faces like Treasure Obasi and Vine Ogulu. It also features BBNaija stars Neo Akpofure and Daniel ‘Sir Dee’ Atteh.
Speaking on the show, series producer Uche Ikejimba (Big Brother Naija) said: “Dilemma is set in two-time jumps; 1998 and 2021. Viewers will have the luxury of experiencing the story in the 90s, bringing back many nostalgic moments. This time jump gets to see characters grow as viewers experience their journey together”.
Look out for new episodes of Dilemma on Showmax every weekday – and if you missed a few episodes, fear not, you can binge it from the beginning.
