In Showmax Original drama series Princess on a Hill, viewers are introduced to the world of Zara, played by Onyinye Odokoro (Slum King, Adire), a young and naive woman whose life takes an unexpected turn after winning the prestigious Lawson Group’s Leading Ladies reality show.
With her newfound fame comes a heavy burden: saving the very company that catapulted her to stardom. Thrust into the complex and cutthroat world of high-stakes business, Zara must quickly adapt to her new reality, where power struggles and ruthless competition are the norms.
However, her biggest challenge lies not just in managing the company, but in standing her ground against the enigmatic and tyrannical CEO, Moyosore Lawson, played by Bimbo Manuel (Breath of Life, 2024 AMVCA winner for Best Movie) who is determined to see her fail. As she navigates the intricate web of corporate politics and personal ambition, Zara must dig deep to find the strength to resist manipulation, maintain her integrity, and ultimately prove that she is more than just a “princess on a hill.”
The corporate drama also stars Bimbo Manuel (Breath of Life, 2024 AMVCA winner for Best Movie), Efa Iwara, Ireti Doyle, Femi Jacobs, Andrew Bunting, Mimi Chaka and Norbert Young, with Chuka Ejorh and Shayo Oke-Sobo as co-executive producers.
The show is co-created by Abiola Sobo and AMVCA-winning filmmaker Tolu Ajayi, whose debut film, Over The Bridge, premiered at the New York African Film Festival (NYAFF) and led this year’s Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards with 12 nominations.
All the episodes for Princess on a Hill are available to binge-watch.
