Between Worlds: A Captivating Yoruba Fantasy Unfolds on Showmax
Showmax’s newest Nigerian Original, Between Worlds, is now streaming exclusively on the platform, offering viewers an enthralling dive into a realm where past and present collide in a tale of power, destiny, and hidden truths.
This 10-episode epic centers around Lamide, a man thrust into a mysterious town called Ilu Arin, where he becomes entangled in an age-old struggle for dominance and secrets long buried.
