Dami Elebe Takes the Helm as Head Writer for Showmax’s ‘Flawsome 2’ Series

Dami Elebe, a Nigerian screenwriter, has been announced as the lead writer for the second season of the AMVCA-winning series ‘Flawsome.’ The announcement was made by Showmax on Wednesday, Aug. 23, and has left fans excited for what’s to come.

‘Flawsome,’ a 13-part drama series that clinched an African Magic Viewer’s Choice Award, is set to venture into its next production phase, and Dami Elebe’s involvement is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the story. The Showmax original, created and directed by Tola Odunsi, centers around the lives of four strong-willed women – Ifeyinwa, Ramota, Ivie, and Dolapo – as they navigate the complexities of their personal and professional lives, fortified by their unbreakable bond of friendship.

Dami Elebe, known for her exceptional contributions to projects like ‘Skinny Girl In Transit,’ ‘Rumor Has It,’ and the Netflix series ‘Far From Home,’ has ignited anticipation among viewers with her involvement in ‘Flawsome 2.’ Elebe confirmed the news with a repost on her Twitter page, acknowledging the significant opportunity to contribute her creative prowess to the series.

The series, which garnered acclaim following its first release on November 10, 2022, continued captivating audiences until February 2, 2023.

While the main cast featuring Bisola Ayieola, Sharon Ooja, Ini Dima-Okojie, and Enado Odigie remains unconfirmed for the upcoming season, enthusiasts of the show are hopeful to see their favorite actresses reprise their roles.

Although ‘Flawsome’ garnered multiple nominations, including Best Actress in a Drama, Best Lighting Designer, Best Cinematographer, and Best Television Series, at the AMVCA awards, it narrowly missed out on securing a win in any of the categories.

As Dami Elebe assumes her role as head writer for ‘Flawsome 2,’ the anticipation heightens, with fans eager to witness her unique narrative approach to portraying the myriad challenges the four friends confront on their journey.

The production stage for the second season is set to commence in the upcoming days, promising another riveting chapter in the lives of these strong and relatable women.
