Peace Hyde joins lead cast for HIV/AIDS series, MTV Shuga
Popular Ghanaian TV personality and actress Peace Hyde is set to make an appearance on television screens as “Eniola” in the new MTV series, Shuga.
The sizzling sex and relationships drama series is a multimedia campaign developed by the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and MTV Base to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Peace Hyde was chosen for the new role in the prestigious TV series alongside fellow Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh.
Peace, will be playing the new role of Eniola, a 30-year-old HIV mother who guides “princess” through the difficulty and uncertainty of pregnancy with HIV.
Filming for MTV Shuga is already underway in Lagos, Nigeria and the show is slated to hit TV screens later this year.
The new season, according to producers, is set to top the success of series three of MTV Shuga, which aired to more than 550 million households in Africa, Europe, UK, The Americas, Asia, Australia and Oceania, and the Caribbean.
“Fusing sexual and other public health messaging with world class storytelling and relatable characters, the new series will focus on a range of themes relevant to young people, including adolescent girls, first sex, gender-based violence, HIV testing and counselling, prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, disclosure of HIV status, stigma and the use of helplines,” producers said in a statement.
