Speaking on the highly anticipated show, Showrunner Nadine Ibrahim says, “Beyond the Veil provides an alternative portrayal of Northern Nigerian women, demonstrating their strength, independence, and authenticity in a world where stereotypes often overshadow reality. This series seeks to break barriers and shed light on the diverse narratives that exist within our society.”
Industry players, investors, local communities, and the general public have eagerly waited for this announcement. The series has captivated a dedicated fan base since its inception, and the release of Season 2 is a testament to its success.
Beyond the Veil Season 2 delves deeper into the lives of five resilient Northern Nigerian women as they navigate the ups and downs of modern life. Their intertwining careers, friendships, romances, and occasional clash of cultures create a captivating narrative that resonates with global audiences. It stars Jemima Osunde, Norah Ego, Ame Aiyejina, Habiba Zock-Sock and Maryam Booth.
“In Season 1, we introduced our characters and challenged stereotypes, setting the stage for their character development. In Season 2, the actors embody these multifaceted characters with raw emotions and depths. We embrace imperfections and vulnerabilities, guiding our characters to find strength and resilience through their darkest moments. I am immensely proud of our work on this series. I hope it resonates with audiences worldwide.” – Nadine Ibrahim.
