The win marks a new chapter in what has been a consistent streak of critical acclaim for Nworah. Her 2023 Netflix hit Shanty Town dominated the AMVCA nominations with ten nods, while also becoming the most-streamed African Original on the platform in Nigeria during the first half of that year. A year later, her gritty drama Slum King won the same category now claimed by My Fairytale Wedding, reinforcing her unique ability to traverse genres — from urban grit to romantic fantasy — without losing her signature depth.
Produced under her banner, Giant Creative Studios, My Fairytale Wedding is a lush, contemporary reimagining of classic Nollywood romance. The series follows Moji (played by Ini Edo), a talented but romantically unlucky baker whose journey through love, familial expectations, and emotional growth unfolds against a backdrop of high-society Lagos weddings. With a supporting cast that includes Ramsey Nouah, Carolyn Hutchings as Tima, and Lilian Esoro as Precious, the show deftly balances glamour with emotional authenticity, exploring themes of heartbreak, marriage, and personal reinvention.
Beyond its glitzy surface, My Fairytale Wedding stands as yet another example of Nworah’s storytelling finesse—blending cultural resonance, modern sensibilities, and strong female narratives. With each project, she continues to push boundaries, earning her place among Nollywood’s most visionary voices.
