Venge S1
Africa Magic returns with a brand new telenovela, Venge, which tells the story of Bibi, a young woman who runs her own bistro and is engaged to be married. However, things take a turn when she becomes wrapped up in money laundering and murder.
Venge stars veteran Nigerian actress Uche Mac-Auley (Checkmate, Thunderbolt: Magun), Michelle Dede (E.V.E, Hush), Uzoamaka Aniunoh (MTV Shuga), Obehi Aburime and Ian Wordi.
The show is produced by AMVCA award winner, Tosin Igho (Seven, Nneka the Pretty Serpent). Speaking on the show, Igho said: “Venge is a fresh take on the telenovela genre. It contains many of the same elements that audiences are used to but adds its own unique brand of action, paired with a stunning visual style”.
Look out for new episodes of Venge on Showmax every weekday – and if you missed a few episodes, fear not, you can binge it from the beginning.
