In February 2013, we told you guys there was a TV show of all TV shows that was going to blow your mind. {HERE} Well! It’s almost here and we’re very excited.
After creating a media frenzy with the release of the first ‘The Island’ teaser a few months ago, Urban Vision Productions teases the African audience yet again with another trailer – this time with just enough detail to wet appetites and leave us gasping for more. This 2nd trailer shows us more about the intrigues and alliances, emotions that we can expect to see on the show. We are also introduced to a new character of Mrs Tokunbo Bowen-Cole, who is played by none other than the successful screen goddess; Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, who was recently rated by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world and is the first Nigerian celebrity to reach the 1 million-fan mark on Facebook.
The much buzzed-about drama series is directed by veteran director/filmmaker Tola Odunsi, from a script by Bayo Lambo, Motunrayo Elais and Ada Iwugo .
“The Island” stars Demola Adedoyin as Femi Bowen-Cole,Tolu ‘Toolz’ Oniru as Yemisi Balogun, Seun O as Segun Alaba, Eku Edewor as Sade Coker, Derin ‘DJ Caise’ Philips as Jide Ademola, Somkele Iyamah as Ada Agu, Rotimi ‘DJ Xclusive’ Alakija as Ahmed Bako, Zainab Balogun as Teni Bowen-Cole, Venita Akpofure as Fola, Jimmie as Lanre Jegede, Stephanie Coker as Tayo Sowande, Tracy Nwapa as Nike Oregun, and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde as Mrs Tokunbo Bowen-Cole.

LOL @ “a new ORIGINAL series” when it’s essentially a Lagos version of Gossip Girl.
And the acting looks wack. Smh.
Yes the acting looks really wack *rolling my eyes*
Nice…something to take our minds off tinsel!
The acting is crap !
Omotola is the onlt reason I would watch. The rest can’t act
just watched it again …2 thumbs up , this looks so good!
Sorry o, not looking forward to this one… Can’t these people scout for actresses in naija? why use already made people, who can’t act, when there are talents out there waiting to be discovered. Smh…
Hope it will be wow
I am looking forward to the IT…..intriguing…
my crush dj xclusive is in it!!!! i can’t wait to see this now
oh wow.. dj exclusive & omotola… i hope it’s gonna be good
I am slowly giving up on Nigeria films. To think the elites of our society gather to make this? Hian!!!!!
That’s the whole point. They’re “elite”. That’s all we’re supposed to see and be wowed by. We’re supposed to be blinded by the glitz and glam and not notice how shoddy it all is.
Dj exclusive Yes please dang my boo looking foiineeee
I love OmoT but can she plzzzzzz get raid of that fake Birkin???
I love her out fit by the way.
Does anyone know who made it??
Rid*
Outfit* (one word)
Thanks.
In as much as I can’t stand Eku, I would love to watch it.
I hope it will be available online for those of us outside the country.
… That “Birkin” looks made in Nigeria 😀
Can’t wait to see Toolz acting!
omotola is looking good. toolz seems like a good actor. and somkele iyamah should consider joining nollywood. the production seems amateurish, but if the content and acting are good, i’ll watch, if not…
Errrr, DjXclusive Groupies, please can u leave my MAN alone???? God Bless.
Omosexy!!! Now that is what I’m talking about. I love the Roles you choose. I love your career choices. Wise chick. Classy woman!

OmoT wats up with the bag????
Ghen ghen! Cant wait this show is going to be hot. It’s not about competing with other shows on tv hare, everyone has an audience. So far I am loving what I am seeing, great cast, great production, I want more, August should hurry up and come.
These BN folk and the way they throw words around. How is Tola Odunsi a ‘veteran’ now? Is he now in the same league as Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva, Taiwo Ajayi-Lycet and co? I just tire!
All you razz wannabe”s that have never entered a Hermes store and are calling the bag fake … if you had brains or even knew anything about Hermes you would know that the birkin bag comes in different leathers, togo, fjord , clemence etc.. Now the bag Omotola who i must say looks like “a bag of money” has on is Clemence leather 40cm translation for you razz wannabe”s especially the mumu saying its creased, its soft leather so it collapses after use and is not as structured as the Togo leather (google is your friend) as for the acting how are you going to judge their acting skills from a trailer .. Instead of y’all to promote and commend the effort you are beefing while this actors are counting checks .. All i see here is fabulousity young hot aspiring actors .. This is going to be a HOT show don’t be a hater join the movement and get that money.. PS i am surprised y’all didn’t say the G wagon was fake …
demola adedoyin is foiiiiine!!!cant wait to see the kissing with tracy LOL! d production look so clean go Naija
D trailer isn’t bad. If they have good directors it could be a hit show. D casting people are smart; they weren’t lookin for typical ‘Nollywood’ actors, they’re tryin t get closer to the real thing .
