The award-winning drama returns with thrilling plotlines, plunging viewers into the gripping world of Wura, where power, betrayal and dark secrets collide in the most thrilling series finale yet.

The gripping narrative unfolded in Season 2 around her complex relationships, particularly with her family, and the dark secrets that threaten to unravel her carefully constructed world. With dramatic twists and intense confrontations, the first two seasons captivated audiences by revealing the lengths Wura would go to to maintain her power, setting the stage for an even more explosive third season.
