Meet the cast of Showmax's upcoming original series 'Agu'

Here's a look at some of the cast, along with what to expect from them in the original Showmax series titled Agu.

In a post on Instagram, the streaming platform shared the official character poster as the countdown to the release date begins.

Being the first of its kind from the producers, Agu is a six-part legal drama centred around law, family rivalries, and a touch of the supernatural. It follows the lives of three key characters, Etim, Pius, and Victoria, who find themselves entangled in a murder case that becomes a lot more than they expected.

Directed by Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) winner Anis Halloway, here is the cast of Agu alongside their thrilling characters:

Kanayo O Kanayo as Etim Inyang

Etim is a 50-year-old, well-read lawyer who is struggling with his career and an alcohol problem. In a bit to try and revive his dying career, he takes on the case of his newfound friend, who has been charged with murder.
