With its Showmax Shikini Season, a limited-time offer on its General Entertainment (GE) Mobile and All Devices plans, Showmax, Africa’s top streaming service, is making premium entertainment more affordable and accessible for Nigerians. New and existing customers can access Showmax GE Mobile for ₦1,000 instead of ₦1,600 and Showmax All Devices for ₦2,000 instead of ₦3,500 between February 28 and March 31, 2025.
BrandSpur entertainment and lifestyle news reports that customers will be able to experience their favourite stories on Showmax mobile or multiple screens at the lowest cost yet thanks to this offer.
Tope Oshunkeye, Executive Head of Marketing, West Africa, MultiChoice Nigeria, commented on the agreement, saying: “We know that affordability is a key concern for many Nigerians, and we want to ensure that access to first-class streaming entertainment remains within reach.
“Showmax Shikini Season is our way of ensuring more Nigerians can enjoy content that has never been seen before without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a new or returning subscriber, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into our diverse content library at an unbeatable price,” he added.
The agreement comes after Showmax’s first-anniversary makeover, which included a full rebranding, an update to Comcast’s Peacock platform, and a more robust content lineup in collaboration with NBCUniversal and Sky. Notably, as of September 2024, Showmax has 50% more paying customers than the previous year, demonstrating MultiChoice’s ongoing commitment to making it Africa’s top streaming service.
Subscribers may enjoy a wide range of entertainment in March, including the popular dramas Cheta M S2 and Wura S3, new episodes of Under the Influence, and the epic Yoruba series Between Worlds (which launches on March 6) and Kabiyesi, among other Showmax Nigerian Originals.
Along with other new Africa Magic programs, the record-breaking Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Lagos is also on the local content roster.
Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, Venom: The Last Dance, and Despicable Me 4—three of the top ten 2024 blockbusters—as well as It Ends With Us, which is Google’s sixth most searched film of 2024, and Emmy nominees Gangs of London and The Righteous Gemstones will all be available for streaming on Showmax for fans of premium international content. Suits LA S1, Power Book II: Ghost, Love Island, Yellowjackets, and Season 3 of the Emmy-winning series The White Lotus are also accessible on Showmax.
