M-Net West Africa is adding two new series from October - Dilemma and Venge - to its Africa Magic Showcase (DStv 151) channel on MultiChoice's DStv.
The telenovelas Riona and Enakhe are ending with the two new half-hour dramas replacing them from Monday 4 October.
Dilemma will broadcast at 20:00 on weeknights on Africa Magic Showcase and follows the lives of two estranged lovers as they find their way back to each other and deal with a history they would rather forget.
The Dilemma cast includes Nigerian actors like Shan George, Bob-Manuel Udokwu and some new faces.
Venge will be shown on weekdays on Africa Magic Showcase at 20:30 as a "scandalous story of lies, secrets, betrayals, conspiracies, and a quest for justice and revenge". The Venge cast includes Michelle Dede, Uzoamaka Aniunoh, Obehi Aburime, Uche Mac-Auley, and Ian Wordi.
Busola Tejumola, MultiChoice Nigeria's executive head of content and West Africa channels, says that besides being on the Africa Magic Showcase channel, Dilemma and Venge will also be available on MultiChoice's video streaming service, Showmax.
