Africa Magic is kicking off the new year with The Split, an original series that delves into the world of gambling. It is set to debut on January 1, 2026.
The upcoming series was announced via the official Instagram page of Africa Magic with a gripping poster teasing the suspense and drama viewers should anticipate. The Split follows Abdul, a man burdened by gambling debts, who discovers a dormant bank account linked to a deceased customer. Rather than walking away, he gathers a small team comprising a bank manager and an IT specialist to execute a risky theft, leading to a series of tense decisions.
As anticipation builds, Nollywood actor David Jones David (DJD) confirmed his participation in the project, though he has not disclosed his specific role. Information about additional cast members and production remains under wraps.
The Split is one of Africa Magic Showcase’s two flagship year-end productions, alongside Daughters of Water, which premieres December 29, 2025.
The Split will premiere exclusively on Africa Magic Showcase.
