Better Half, which premiered on October 5, follows a relationship influencer whose plans to prove her love formula works are disrupted by secrets surrounding her fiancé’s family.

The indigenous-language titles include Sirrin Amarya, about a bride who disappears before her wedding, Afobaje, which explores betrayal and royal succession, and Onu Ahia Nwanyi, which centres on a young woman who enters a traditional bride contest.

Africa Magic says the new productions are part of its effort to showcase Nigerian stories, languages, culture and local talent to audiences across the continent.
