The series has been renewed for season two which continues the storylines of the characters,
Hanifa (Maryam Booth) shares the burden of the financial strain brought about by Ahmadu’s failed business venture, all while being pregnant. Despite warnings from her doctor concerning her precarious pregnancy, she continues to push herself to take on freelance work.
Baddriyah ‘Baddie’ (Norah Ego) finds herself grappling with the harsh reality of being trapped in an abusive marriage, struggling to come to terms with her situation. She lives a double life: one in front of the cameras as a famous influencer and the battered wife in private. This causes her to close off and find a surprising place of understanding and comfort in her ‘rival’, Sadiq’s first wife, Bilqis.
Na’ima (Jemima Osunde) survives a car crash and begins her journey towards healing, as she recovers and undergoes physical and mental therapy while relapsing into substance abuse. Also, she faces hurdles like her deepening relationship with Matthew which her mother is against.
Surraya (Habiba Tanko Zock-Sock) returns from Lagos, ready to take on those she sees responsible for her exile. Still, she inserts herself into the narrative through Kassim, who unwittingly enlists her help running Na’ima’s hammam, which suffers in her absence. Surraya agrees to ‘help’ while silently sabotaging the business by selling her products under the guise of the hammam.
Zizi (Ame Aiyejina) resigns as the Minister’s ADC and keeps a low profile, channelling her focus toward a promotion at work. While pursuing the promotion, she meets Tarik, a police officer, on transfer to the same training. Their undeniable chemistry adds a layer of tension to their professional workspace.
