Nigerian cinema has constantly been on a pedestal of progress in recent years. From blockbuster remakes, to ‘big budget’ international collaborations with the streaming giants, and even multimillion naira box office sales, it has been one rollercoaster ride of achievements in the Nigerian film industry.
Let’s take a look at some of the iconic moments and releases that shaped the moviedom industry in 2021.When Netflix inked a deal with the award-winning filmmaker Kunle Afolayan on the iconic social satire, “Citation,” in October 2020, it marked the beginning of a myriad of similar collaborations. Earlier in March, this year, the American streaming giant commissioned three new feature films from him, expanding their partnership with him.
The buck didn’t stop at Afolayan. After a very successful outing with the feature film “King of Boys” in 2018, Kemi Adetiba returned with a sequel in the form of a TV series titled “King of Boys: The Return of the King.” This time, she partnered with Netflix, making “The Return of the King.” It is the very first Netflix Original series from Nigeria .
Under the Àló writers initiative, successful candidates will be allowed to enter into a series of pilot development agreements with EbonyLife and Sony, and completed projects will be pitched to international broadcasters for their consideration.It is not the first Netflix Original or even the first Kunle Afolayan film to premiere on Netflix , but “A Naija Christmas” is the first Netflix holiday film from Nigeria.
