    Babatunde Agunloye returns with first ever largely black cast production on Canadian TV 

    The visionary producer and prolific Director & Storyteller Babatunde Agunloye has returned with another captivating story in Realm 2 produced by Great and Mighty Things Inc.

    This is Canada’s first instance of its type. Using a broadcaster called Fibe TV1 to bring this production to Canadians, no other Nigerian-born Canadian filmmaker has ever had a mostly black cast production on Canadian television for Canadian audiences.

    Basic plot-wise, the five-part episode tells the story.

    “REALM 2” is an artistically well-made work. Babatunde Agunloye currently favours specific story genres, and the authors do a good job of marketing them. More importantly, the implementation is done quite well, particularly in terms of technical aspects.

    Lola ends her relationship with her unfaithful boyfriend Femi and suddenly finds herself into another relationship with Soji. She must consult the fortune teller to inquire if Soji is the man she will spend her future with.

    Tianna is back and with her are the memories of what the fortune teller did to her in the past. Her reveal is something the fortune teller was not prepared for and what she is currently not used to – losing the stability of life she has built for herself

    A face-off begins between the fortune teller and Tianna. The fortune teller is offered the choice of giving up what she has now for what she used to have in the past

    The fortune teller is adamant about giving up the necklace and tries to continue offering services to the hopefuls. She confronts Tianna head on and at the same time braces herself for what the consequences are.

    Tianna proposes an exchange of Femi for the necklace. She must correct that even if it means letting go of everything she has come to build for herself.
