Renowned actor Brian Ogana has made a highly anticipated return to television, marking his comeback with a new show set to air in May. Ogana, who rose to fame through his iconic role as Luwi in the popular Kenyan TV series Maria, had been noticeably absent from the screen for a while, leaving fans curious about his whereabouts and future projects. His sudden disappearance from major productions sparked concern, especially after he shared an emotional video in 2024 revealing his struggles and dissatisfaction with life. In the video, he opened up about taking time off to reflect and deal with personal challenges.
Now, fans are celebrating as he joins the cast of Lulu, a new television show produced by the well-known duo behind several successful local dramas. The show is expected to debut on May 5 on Maisha Magic and has already generated significant excitement online. In a promotional video shared by the show’s production company, Ogana appears in a sharp red and black outfit, seated confidently in what resembles a king’s chair. His calm, commanding presence and signature charisma instantly caught the attention of viewers, many of whom expressed their joy and anticipation in the comment section.
Social media lit up with praise and excitement from fans who had missed seeing him on their screens. Comments ranged from excitement over his return to eagerness for the show’s premiere. Some even pleaded for the episodes to be available on YouTube to ensure wider access. Others jokingly said the pressure from the new show is already building, with many marking their calendars for the debut.
Beyond the buzz of his return, Ogana has also used his platform to share meaningful insights with his followers. Reflecting on his journey, he advised aspiring actors to focus on developing their skills rather than chasing fleeting fame. He emphasized the importance of creating a long-lasting impact and encouraged artists to stay grounded and resilient in their careers. He highlighted how draining it can be to dwell too much on the past or worry about the future, noting that such thoughts had affected him deeply.
Ogana’s personal life has also drawn attention in the past, particularly his relationship with ex-girlfriend Dyder Abdallah. Though their relationship remained mostly private, he once publicly expressed lingering feelings for her. However, Abdallah later stated that she was not interested in rekindling the romance.
Despite past challenges, Ogana’s return to the screen symbolizes a fresh chapter in his journey as an actor. With Lulu poised to captivate audiences, many are eager to see how he brings his character to life and contributes to what looks like another hit show. His comeback not only excites his long-time fans but also serves as an inspiration to others navigating their own ups and downs in both career and life.
