‘The Rishantes’ follows the wealthy Rishante family played by Mofe Duncan, Chisom Agoaiweke, and Ummi Baba Ahmed. The members of the Rishante family seem to have power, wealth and even romance. But beneath the surface, some underlying powers and events could lead the family to a cataclysmic ending.

Their supposedly happy life is filled with discord and conflict within the family that they must resolve to face the bigger enemy threatening to tear them apart. Whether or not they will win the more significant battles remains to be seen. The Rishantes will air every weeknight from Monday, November 1, 2021, at 8 pm on Africa Magic Urban (DStv Channel 153).

‘Movement Japa’ follows three graduates as they struggle to leave Nigeria in search of greener pastures. The dramatic and hilarious story features Gideon Okeke, Shasnay Okawa, and Sambasa Nzeribe. It tells the heavy truth many unemployed graduates in Nigeria can relate to. The show will air Mondays from Monday, November 1, 2021, at 9 pm on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv Channel 151).

The Executive Producer of The Rishantes, Dimbo Atiya, explained why he believed Nigerians would connect with The Rishante family at the premiere event.

“On Rishante, we are focusing on the strength of standing together as a family. It is especially important in times like this in this country where everybody is struggling to survive. There is always this support system when you go back to the family structure. For us, it felt like a very important time to tell a very beautiful family story. And of course, for Africa Magic, which is a station that caters for the family. Everything they do is all about the family,” he said.

The brand new series can be watched on the go via the DStv app on multiple devices at no additional cost. The app is available for download from the Apple and Google Play stores.

Both series will also be available on the online streaming service, Showmax, which is open to DStv Premium customers at no extra cost. Customers on DStv Compact Plus can get Showmax at half price.
