African streamer Showmax has set a November 2024 premiere date for its latest original Nigerian drama series, “Princess on a Hill.” The announcement was made during the 2024 MIP Africa event in Cape Town, part of the Fame Week Africa festival.
Co-created by Abiola Sobo and Tolu Ajayi, “Princess on a Hill” explores themes of power and ambition in a corporate setting. Ajayi’s debut feature, “Over The Bridge,” premiered at the New York African Film Festival and scored 12 nominations at this year’s Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
The series stars Onyinye Odokoro ("Slum King") as Zara, a young woman who wins Lawson Group's reality show Leading Ladies and is tasked with saving the company. Bimbo Manuel ("Breath of Life," winner of the 2024 AMVCA Best Picture Award) plays the antagonistic CEO Moyosore Lawson.
