Showmax Original Flawsome returns for a second season

Showmax has announced the release of the second season of its Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) nominated drama series, Flawsome. The show is scheduled to premiere on 12 February 2024, coinciding with the relaunch of the new Showmax app. 

The series follows the lives of four dynamic and ambitious friends – Ifeyinwa, Ramat, Ivie, and Dolapo – dedicated to both their individual growth and their unbreakable bond. Season 1 presented various challenges for each character: Ifeyinwa (played by Bisola Aiyeola), a tech executive, discovered she wasn’t her father’s chosen successor after his demise. Ramat (Ini Dima-Okojie) faced the unravelling of her seemingly perfect marriage, Ivie (Sharon Ooja) experienced a breakthrough in her fashion career, while Dolapo (Enado Odigie) grappled with a career crisis.

Flawsome Season 2 promises to delve deeper into the lives of these women, addressing pressing questions like the possibility of reconciliation between Ramat and Uduak, or if Ramat will choose Godspower. Fans can also anticipate the resolution of Dolapo’s career challenges, Ifeyinwa’s journey to independence from her father’s company, and whether Ivie will learn valuable lessons from her personal and professional relationships.

Returning to the show are Gabriel Afolayan, Shine Rosman, Eso Dike, Baaj Adebule, and many others, adding new dimensions to the storyline. 

The first season of the show bagged five nominations at the 2023 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, including Best Television Series. Both Ini-Dima Okojie and Enado Odigie were nominated for Best Actress In A Drama, Movie Or TV Series. The series was also nominated for Best Lighting Designer and Best Cinematographer. Flawsome also won Bella Naija Style’s The Definitive Best Dressed List: Most Fashionable TV Show of 2023.

Last August, Showmax confirmed award-winning Dami Elebe, who is renowned for hit shows like Skinny Girl in Transit, The Men’s Club and Far From Home, as the head writer for Season 2. Tola Odunsi (The Men’s Club, From Lagos with Love) also returns as director and executive producer. 

Speaking on the second season of the show,  Odunsi shared: “If I were to sum up this season in one word, it’s ‘better.’ The journey we’ve embarked on and the narrative we’re crafting is nothing short of magical. We’re telling a story that resonates deeply, especially with women, and the ability to connect with our audience in such a meaningful way is truly magical. We’re committed to maintaining the high standard of storytelling and hope to continue inspiring and connecting with our viewers through our work.”

With fans eagerly anticipating the return of Flawsome, the new season promises a captivating blend of drama, friendship, and self-discovery. Watch Season 2 from 12 February exclusively on www.showmax.com, with new episodes landing weekly.
