The Nigerian original telenovela, Wura, has made a return with a chilling storyline, twists, and drama. Showmax recently released the trailer for the third and final season of the show, which premieres on Monday, September 23, 2024, with two episodes each week.

The story picks up right where it left off, with all of Iperindo buzzing in preparation for Tumi and Jeje’s wedding. However, unforeseen circumstances arise, threatening their union, including ghosts from both their pasts. Meanwhile, Wura’s carefully constructed empire begins to crumble, as her enemies are fast closing in and ready to strike.

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 finale is packed with compelling plots and intricate character developments that will leave fans in awe,” says showrunner Rogers Ofime. “The entire production team has given their all, and I can confidently say that this season will deliver breathtaking performances that will linger in the minds of viewers long after the credits roll,” he added.

In Season 1, viewers were introduced to the powerful yet ruthless Wura-Amoo Adeleke, the unyielding CEO of Frontline Gold Mine, as she navigates the challenges of leading her mining empire in Iperindo, Osun State. Wura stops at nothing to protect her legacy, often crossing ethical lines and making enemies along the way.
