A new Ghanaian television series, Public Figure, will premiere at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel tomorrow, Friday, May 14.

It will start showing on RedTV’s YouTube channel from Wednesday, May 19. The 13-episode series narrates the story of Wonder, a charming young lady, who quits the corporate life under pressure from a sexual pervert of a boss to pitch herself up to be in the celebrity space. It’s a whirlwind rise to the top for her through the corridors of power, literally, more than she even bargains for.

Kuuku, the flirtatious lawyer next door wants more from Wonder than being her criminal brother’s lawyer and it doesn’t take long for Kuuku’s wife Frances to smell a rat.

However, Frances isn’t the only one on Wonder’s heels. Yaw Dordor, a former colleague at her old firm is still in love with her and bidding his time, but Wonder’s close association with a presidential candidate sets her up on the fast lane and soon she is on course to become the subject of a scandalous affair at the highest level.

Public Figure was shot in Ghana, produced and developed by a Ghanaian cast and crew, directed by the award-winning Eddie Seddor. It features bubbly actress/presenter, Naa Ashorkor Mensah-Doku and renowned actor Van Vicker.
