The third series of award winning drama MTV Shuga is set to premiere on Sunday, December 1. It features Ghanaians Chris Attoh as Nii and Leonora Okine as Malaika.

Secrets and lies, crossed wires and broken dreams are at the heart of series 3 of Shuga, set in Nigeria for the first time, after two seasons based in Nairobi.

The truth is: in Shuga, nearly everyone’s keeping something hidden from those they love – from their family, their girlfriend, their boyfriend, their lover, their best friend, their husband, but perhaps most of all: themselves.

But what exactly are they hiding? Their hopes and dreams? A secret passion for an old friend? A reckless encounter with a clandestine lover? An unwanted pregnancy?

Their HIV status? A private sorrow? A broken heart? The real source of those expensive gifts? Or what really happens between husband and wife behind closed doors?
