Liquorose, Hermes, Kaffy, and More to Star in Africa Magic’s New Series “Rise Again” Premiering Sunday

Popular entertainers Liquorose, Hermes Iyele, Mr P, Kaffy, and other stars will be gracing our TV screens from Sunday, October 19, as Africa Magic premieres its new limited drama series, Rise Again, at 8 pm on Africa Magic Showcase.

Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Unlimited LA, Rise Again marks his debut in television series production. The show tells the story of Charles, a talented but struggling dancer who must overcome betrayal, injury, and heartbreak to reclaim his dream in a fierce university dance competition, the Naija Step Showdown.

The series features a stellar ensemble cast, including Toluwanimi George, Saint Tioni, KoKoByKhloe, Dada Boy Ehiz, Do2dtun, and Chief Femi Branch, alongside Liquorose and Kaffy, who bring their dance expertise and star power to the screen.

Rise Again is a story of resilience, redemption, and the pursuit of dreams, highlighting the determination of young Nigerians to rise above adversity.

During the Africa Magic Showcase screening, Unlimited LA had described the series as a storytelling challenge that marked his transition from directing music videos to filmmaking.

“I’ve shot over 1,000 music videos, and I got tired, so I asked myself if I could just transition into filmmaking,” he said.

The limited series premieres on Sunday, October 19, at 8 pm, exclusively on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv Channel 151)
