Iyanu is a 2025 animated action-fantasy series directed by Roye Okupe and Brandon Easton, set in the mythological world of Yorubaland. The show follows a teenage orphan girl who discovers extraordinary powers and must unravel the secrets of her origins before an ancient curse consumes everything she loves.

What is Iyanu about?

Iyanu grows up as an outsider in a vibrant Yoruba kingdom, carrying no memory of her family and no understanding of the strange abilities awakening inside her. When a darkness long sealed away begins to stir, threatening to unmake the world, she finds herself thrust into a quest that cuts to the heart of her identity. Guided by fragments of lost history and unlikely companions, she must piece together what she truly is before the curse reaches the point of no return. The series builds its mythology steadily, weaving West African spiritual tradition into a coming-of-age story about belonging, sacrifice, and the weight of chosen destiny.

Cast & crew

The series is co-directed by Roye Okupe, a Nigerian comic creator whose work brought the YouNeek YouNiverse universe to screen, and Brandon Easton, a seasoned animation writer. The voice cast includes Adesua Etomi-Wellington and Stella Damasus, prominent figures in Nollywood, alongside Shaffy Bello, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Serah Johnson, Okey Jude, and Samuel Kugbiyi.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Iyanu offers something rare in global animation: a fully realized mythological world drawn from African tradition rather than European or East Asian sources. Iranian audiences who grew up loving epic fantasy series will find familiar beats here — the orphan hero, the hidden lineage, the clash between old magic and a world in crisis — all refracted through Yoruba cosmology that most Western productions ignore. The series arrives with Persian dubbing, making it accessible for family viewing across generations, from children discovering animation to parents who want a story with real stakes and cultural weight.

Where & how to watch

Iyanu is available on K-Time with full Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles. You can watch on the web, on your TV, or on your phone — no VPN required, no geo-blocking, and no extra download. Start a subscription and cancel anytime.
