Acclaimed animation filmmaker Blessing Amidu is raising the bar once again with her latest project, Secrets of the Multiverse—an epic sci-fi adventure poised to enchant young audiences around the globe. Building on the momentum of her 2020 breakout success, Lady Buckit & the Motley Mopsters, this new production dives even deeper into imaginative storytelling, expanding the universe she first introduced to audiences and marking a bold new chapter for Nigerian animation.

A Perilous Journey Across Dimensions

Secrets of the Multiverse plunges viewers into a high-stakes narrative where two children, through an accidental stumble, enter a perilous multiverse. In this new realm, their decisions are not just about survival, but hold the power to determine the fate of their very own world.

"It’s a world of danger that challenges not just their survival, but their sense of morality," explained Amidu, who serves as the executive producer for the series. "The kids must stop an extinction-level event from destroying everything they hold dear.” This premise suggests a blend of thrilling action and compelling moral dilemmas, designed to engage young viewers on multiple levels.

A New Voice in Screenwriting

The 13-episode animated series boasts a remarkable creative talent behind its script: Emmanuella Amidu. A rising star in the writing world, Emmanuella began crafting the screenplay at the tender age of 16 and completed it by 19. Her early immersion in storytelling is evident, as she stated, “I’ve always loved storytelling and have written several children’s books. I’m thrilled to see this screenplay come to life.” Her fresh perspective is expected to bring a unique voice to the science fiction genre.

A Dream Team Behind the Scenes

Blessing Amidu has reunited with a key figure from her previous success, Adebisi Adetayo, the acclaimed technical director of 32ad Animation Studio. Adetayo, who also directed Lady Buckit & the Motley Mopsters, will co-direct Secrets of the Multiverse alongside Robert Sledge, a seasoned animation veteran from Hollywood. This collaboration of local expertise and international experience is poised to deliver a visually stunning and narratively rich production.

The series also features a stellar voice cast comprising beloved Nollywood actors. The talent roster includes Kate Henshaw, Korede Lawal, Maryam Yarkasai, Fiyin Asenuga, and Akorede Bobo, promising captivating performances that will bring the animated characters to life.

Release Schedule

Fans eager to embark on this multiverse adventure won't have to wait long. Secrets of the Multiverse is slated for release in two parts: the first part will premiere in 2026, with the second part following in early 2027. This staggered release approach will likely build anticipation and allow audiences to fully immerse themselves in the unfolding saga.

With its compelling storyline, talented creative team, and a blend of local and international expertise, Secrets of the Multiverse is set to be another milestone for Nigerian animation on the global stage, further cementing Blessing Amidu's reputation as a pioneer in the industry.
