The event was a milestone for the indigenous drama, which first captured audiences with its debut, Affiong Go Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Stellamaris Duru and directed by award-winning filmmaker Patience Oghre Imobhio, the new season promises over 30 episodes rich in relatable storytelling, cultural values, and strong family themes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the premiere held on July 6th at Silverbird Cinema V.I Lagos, producer Stellamaris Duru expressed her gratitude for the show\u2019s journey so far. \u201cI\u2019m speechless and overwhelmed,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know I\u2019ve made this much impact. Sands of Time was born out of the passion to tell indigenous stories that people can relate to, take lessons from, and see themselves in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Building on the success of its first season, We Happy People continues the tradition of authentic African storytelling. Duru noted, \u201cWhen you start watching this new season, you\u2019ll want to see what happens at the end. The story is very relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Veteran actress Chinyere Wilfred, who portrays the strict African mother \u201cMama Bomboy,\u201d shared her experience and the series\u2019 message. \u201cIt was a beautiful experience working with the team,\u201d she said. \u201cThe story is going to teach mothers some vital lessons\u2014especially African mothers who are too strict. My character was almost losing her children due to being overprotective. The series encourages parents to calm down and actually listen to their children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cast also features Nollywood legends Jide Kosoko, Zikky Alloy, Tracy Dera, and Eric Obinna, each bringing their unique talent to this emotionally resonant and culturally rich production.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2025\/07\/sands-of-time-celebrates-one-year-premieres-new-season\/\">Sands of Time celebrates one year, premieres new season<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <\/p>\n<p>The acclaimed family TV series Sands of Time marked its one-year anniversary with a grand celebration and the premiere of its highly anticipated new season, We Happy People. <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2025\/07\/sands-of-time-celebrates-one-year-premieres-new-season\/\">Sands of Time celebrates one year, premieres new season<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <!-- no image -->, Nwafor, {authorlink},, , Vanguard News, July 13, 2025, 12:38 am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sands of Time celebrates one year, premieres new season, By Ayo Onikoyi The acclaimed family TV series Sands of Time marked its one-year anniversary with a grand celebration and the premiere of its highly anticipated new season, We Happy People.
