Showmax Slashes Subscription Fee to N1,000 in Shikini Season Deal

The popular streaming platform has made this possible in its Shikini Season deal to offer customers the chance to enjoy the stories they love on Showmax mobile or multiple screens at the most budget-friendly price yet.

This limited-time-only campaign is also to make premium entertainment more accessible and affordable for Nigerians.

A statement made available to Business Post said the Showmax All Devices will be available during the period for N2,000 instead of N3,500.

Showmax said it created this promo to mark its one-year anniversary relaunch in partnership with Comcast’s NBCUniversal and Sky, which introduced a complete rebrand, an upgrade to Comcast’s Peacock platform, and a stronger content slate.

Notably, Showmax recorded a 50 per cent year-on-year increase in paying subscribers as of September 2024, reflecting MultiChoice’s continued investment in establishing it as Africa’s leading streaming platform.

This March, subscribers can enjoy an extensive catalogue of entertainment featuring Showmax Nigerian Originals including epic Yoruba series Between Worlds (premieres 6 March) and Kabiyesi, new episodes of Under the Influence and fan-favourite dramas Cheta M S2 and Wura S3. The local content slate also includes the record-breaking Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Lagos and other fresh Africa Magic series.

For lovers of top-tier international content, Showmax will be streaming Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire and Venom: The Last Dance and Despicable Me 4 (three of the 10 biggest blockbusters of 2024); It Ends With Us (Google’s sixth most searched movie of 2024) as well as Emmy nominees Gangs of London and The Righteous Gemstones. Also available on Showmax is Season 3 of the Emmy-winning series The White Lotus, plus Suits LA S1, Power Book II: Ghost, Love Island and Yellowjackets.

“We know that affordability is a key concern for many Nigerians, and we want to ensure that access to first-class streaming entertainment remains within reach,” the Executive Head of Marketing for West Africa at MultiChoice Nigeria, Mr Tope Oshunkeye, said.

“Showmax Shikini Season is our way of ensuring more Nigerians can enjoy never-before-seen content without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a new or returning subscriber, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into our diverse content library at an unbeatable price,” he added.
