Kalu Ikeagwu, and Daniel K Daniel have featured in a psychological thriller entitled ‘Diiche.’
The thriller, The Nation gathered, is a Showmax original season scheduled to premiere on Thursday, September 29, 2022.
The 6-part psychological thriller, directed by James Omokwe, Tolu Ajayi, Fiyin Gambo and Ifeoma Chukwuogo, parades a vibrant mix of Nollywood acts including Efa Iwara, Uzoamaka Onuoha, Frank Konwea, Uzoamaka Aniunoh, Chinyere Wilfred and Gloria Anozie-Young.
The series tells the story of Diiche, an A-list actress, who becomes a prime suspect in a high-profile murder investigation over the death of Nnamdi, her fiancé. She must take it upon herself and race against the clock to find out who killed her fiancé and exonerate herself. However, there is more to the case than meets the eye and a backstory of almost 30 years ago, known only to her mother, that reveals the tussle between good and evil.
Commenting on the series, Executive Head, Content and West Africa Channels, MultiChoice Nigeria, Dr. Busola Tejumola described it as an emotionally gripping and thought-provoking drama that features themes Nigerians will relate to.
“We were very intentional about telling stories Nigerians will love and identify with. The story of Diiche is one of fate, culture, beliefs and the battle between good and evil. We believe the story and our stellar production values will draw audiences in. We’ve co-produced with Feemo Vision on this first limited drama series with many more authentic Nigerian productions in the pipeline”, Tejumola said.
Diiche, a limited series, joins a long list of Showmax Nigerian originals that include I am Laycon, Ghana Jollof and the docu-series, Journey of the Beats.
