Nollywood: Latest News, Movies and Industry Moves

Nollywood makes more films per year than Hollywood and is one of the world's fastest-growing film industries. Want to know what that means for African cinema, careers, and streaming? You're in the right place.

Daily Africa Global News tracks Nollywood from Lagos studios to global streaming deals. Here you’ll find fresh releases, box-office reports, casting updates, festival wins, and interviews with directors and actors who shape the scene.

Why Nollywood matters now: budgets are rising, production quality is improving, and international platforms are buying Nigerian titles. That shift creates new jobs, bigger budgets for local storytellers, and wider audiences for African stories. We break down what each change means — for actors, for producers, and for viewers who care about good movies.

What we cover: new film releases and trailers, behind-the-scenes reports, festival coverage, award results, business moves like studio deals and streaming rights, and profiles of rising stars. When a major film lands on Netflix, Prime, or a local cinema release, we explain the deal and how it changes the industry.

Top trends to watch: collaboration with international producers; higher production values in action and drama; a rise in genre films like sci-fi and horror; and more Nollywood titles in global film festivals. Expect to see more co-productions that keep Nigerian voices at the center while opening doors overseas.

Spotlight on talent: actors, directors, screenwriters, and producers are all part of the Nollywood story. We profile household names and the next wave of creators. If you want to follow casting news or track who’s directing big projects, our coverage makes that easy.

How this helps viewers and industry folk: filmmakers get alerts on funding and distribution shifts. Actors and crew learn about casting calls and training opportunities. Film fans read honest reviews, watch lists, and recommendations that point to the best Nigerian films available now.
