A brand-new family drama, House of Klu, has officially premiered on Akwaaba Magic, available on DStv Channel 150 and GOtv Channel 102. The series made its debut following a successful pre-screening held at the MultiChoice Ghana office in Abelenkpe. This launch marks a major step in promoting local storytelling and Ewe-language content in Ghana’s growing film and TV industry.
A Gripping Story of Identity, Privilege, and Mystery
House of Klu follows the life of a young pickpocket whose fate changes dramatically after a car accident involving a wealthy businessman. He is adopted into luxury but struggles with memory loss. As the story unfolds, he unknowingly becomes the key figure in the powerful empire that once destroyed his biological family.
This 130-episode drama blends suspense, emotion, and cultural depth, offering viewers a fresh take on family dynamics, power, and hidden pasts. The series explores powerful themes relevant in Ghana today—such as wealth, ethics, and land disputes—while embracing tradition and justice.
A Landmark Moment for Ghanaian TV
The launch of House of Klu is the second time Akwaaba Magic has produced a television series in the Ewe language, with English subtitles available for wider reach. This strategic move supports language diversity in media and highlights the richness of Ghanaian culture.
Speaking at the launch event, Kafui Danku, Acting CEO of the National Film Authority and Guest of Honour, praised the production. “This show is a testament to what we can achieve when we invest in local talent. Akwaaba Magic is helping to reshape the narrative of Ghanaian entertainment,” she said.
She also acknowledged producer Ivan Quarshigah for his consistent efforts to discover fresh faces and grow the local talent base in Ghana’s film and television sector.
Celebrating Ghanaian Talent and Creativity
The premiere event brought together an exciting mix of personalities, including actors, directors, fans, and media professionals. Cast and crew members of House of Klu were present to celebrate the show’s debut. The atmosphere was one of pride and unity, as many in attendance commended the focus on storytelling in indigenous languages.
Director Ivan Quarshigah, known for his award-winning contributions to Ghanaian TV, shared his vision: “House of Klu is not just entertainment. It’s a bridge that connects our past, present, and future. We want to show the world what Ghana can offer through film.”
When and Where to Watch
House of Klu airs every weekday at 8:00 PM on Akwaaba Magic (DStv Channel 150 and GOtv Channel 102). It offers family-friendly viewing, with a mix of drama, suspense, and cultural lessons, making it a perfect prime-time choice.

Supporting the Growth of Ghana’s Creative Sector
The show is part of a broader initiative by Akwaaba Magic and MultiChoice Ghana to promote African stories and support the local creative economy. According to a 2024 report by the UNESCO Creative Industries Policy Guide, Africa’s entertainment sector has the potential to create over 20 million jobs by 2030. Initiatives like House of Klu play a vital role in achieving this goal.
By telling authentic stories in native languages, the series encourages cultural preservation while opening doors to global audiences. It also serves as a training ground for new actors, writers, and technicians in Ghana’s entertainment space.
Why This Matters for Viewers and the Industry
For everyday viewers, House of Klu offers more than just drama—it sparks conversations around family, justice, and community. It reminds audiences of the power of roots, memory, and second chances.
For industry professionals, it is a blueprint for what’s possible when there is consistent investment in local content. With Ewe as the main language and English subtitles, the series proves that language is not a barrier but a doorway to rich storytelling.
