In Lagos on Sunday, Netflix, one of the world’s leading entertainment services, shared an exciting and diverse slate of upcoming films and series – which include returning fan favourites that will land on the service throughout the last quarter of the year.
The upcoming slate of Nigerian stories that span various genres and themes include new local films and series from Editi Effiong, Mo Abudu, Charles Okpaleke, Kunle Afolayan and Kemi Adetiba.

Collaborating with them has enabled us to showcase Nigeria’s immense storytelling talent and creativity and make Netflix the home of the best Nigerian stories for our audience in Nigeria and around the world.”
