Dede
This show is the biggest romance drama to hit Akwaaba Magic and the best thing is that you can catch up on all 240 episodes in one night. Yes, 240 episodes of romance, drama, action, suspense, and everything you think your partner will love.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Directed and produced by multi-award-winning Ghanaian filmmaker Shirley Frimpong-Manso, her first-ever telenovela – Dede follows the story a naïve rural girl, whose big dreams are cut short when she’s “sold off” by her stepmother to work as a domestic help in the home of the wealthy Robertson family. There she falls in love with the youngest Robertson son, and this ignites all shades of drama in her life.
Binge all 240 episodes (and counting) on Showmax.
To Have and To Hold
Another fan-favourite in on Akwaaba Magic is the drama series To Have and To Hold which explores the struggles of women in modern Ghana as they juggle friendships, romantic relationships, and careers.
The series stars Lydia Forson as the ambitious and career-driven ‘Akosua’, whose marriage of 10-years turns out to be a lie; Naa Ashorkor as the kind and trusting housewife ‘Enyonam’; and fashion icon Zynnell Zuh as ‘Kuukua’, a go-getter with a taste for the finer things in life.

Sankofa
"Sankofa" as the name suggests in the context of the show "Take me back" is a reality show designed for relationships, where the Host and Fixers set out to rekindle broken relationships.
It’s not easy saying I’m sorry, but with a beautiful surprise and help from the Sankofa team, getting your love back might not be that hard after all. However, what we love about this show is not just the love stories and rekindling old flames, but seeing families get back together after years of separation.
