Studio 53, M-Net's flagship, glamorous magazine show, enjoyed widespread popularity, capturing the continent’s appeal and celebrating its talent and energy.

The spin-off show focuses on the entertainment industry in Africa. It showcases the latest in music, movies and fashion, as well as red carpet events across the continent.

Incorporating the best of its past, with several dynamic new elements, plus two brand new presenters; the show will bring audiences Africa’s ‘entertainment news’ as well as the latest on celebs and captains of industry.

53 Extra is anchored by the gorgeous duo of Eku Edewor, a graduate from the New York Film Academy, and Dolapo Oni who trained at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in the UK.

Dolapo who couldn’t contain her excitement on being chosen as a presenter on the show said at the time, “Once we had our first few shoots I soon realised the job was a pretty big deal. It's been extremely exciting and I am having such a great time working with my co-host.”

Having launched in 2004, to date Studio 53 (named in honour of the 53 countries in the African Union), has visited dozens of countries, stretching from the Cape’s southern tip of Africa to Cairo in the North. Along the way the series has stopped at destinations as varied as the ancient cities of Ethiopia and Tunisia, the stunning dunes and deserts of Namibia and Mali and the bustling heart of Nigeria’s Nollywood.

53 Extra continues to go the distance bringing viewers more of these exotic destinations with the addition of exclusive red carpet interviews, as well as glamour and lifestyle features.
