<![CDATA[Jacob’s Cross the award-winning M-Net drama series about powerful oil magnates battling for Africa’s rich off-shore oil resources, which has steadily built up a wide and loyal audience, will return to M-Net screens this January to much enthusiasm.
Set in both South Africa and Nigeria, the story centres around businessman Jacob Makhubu Abayomi and his quest to build the next great African empire. For five seasons, Jacob’s Cross has kept DStv viewers entertained with explosive storylines marrying vicious boardroom battles to hidden family secrets all set against a world of jet set luxury and relentless ambition.
“It’s the range of human emotion at play, the ordinary superimposed against the extraordinary that makes Jacob’s Cross so attractive to audiences,” says Biola Alabi, M-Net MD for Africa. “Joy, heartache, desperation, passion, sorrow, triumph, Jacob’s Cross is the story of an African dynasty at work and at play.”
She goes on to say, “We’re very pleased with the success of Jacob’s Cross to date, because it shows that African audiences relate to this mix of drama, intrigue and cross-continental storylines. We must thank our cast and our crew who continue to show that an African series can be dynamic and bold; and we must thank our audiences to their continuing support.”
It’s brother against brother, family against family, power against power.]]>
