New Showmax dating reality series Bae Beyond Borders follows four South African women who are eager to find themselves a Nigerian man to date and hopefully marry.

Through online speed dating, they collectively choose eight men who’ve impressed them the most. They then travel to Nigeria to meet them face to face and pick their favourites.
