'The Covenant' Renewed for Season 2 After AMVCA Nod

Vincent Okonkwo, the founder of VSL Media, is advancing the next chapter of his series 'The Covenant' as it heads into its second season. This follows a recent nomination for veteran actress Sola Sobowale in the Best Supporting Actress category at the 12th Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA).

The series has maintained a notable presence on Netflix, ranking in the top 10 for 10 weeks since its release on December 12, 2025, marking a significant achievement for African titles. Okonkwo attributes this recognition to the broader efforts of his team and the quality of the series, which has successfully engaged audiences through strategic digital marketing.

Looking ahead, Okonkwo confirmed that production for season 2 is underway, with plans to expand filming to South Africa and introduce new regional talent. The series is directed by Dimeji Ajibola and shot by Peter Moloto, reflecting a growing trend in Nigerian productions that combine technical ambition with strategic release strategies for commercial success.
