‘King Of Boys: The Return Of The King’ Comes To Netflix As 7-Episode Series.
It’s the day that nearly every Nigerian movie lover has been waiting for, the day of the return of the King Of Boys.
After a successful run in cinemas back in 2018, producers of the political thriller film decided to bless fans with a second installment.
Written, produced, and directed by Kemi Adetiba, ‘King Of Boys 2’ will return previous cast members such as Sola Sobowale, Remilekun “Reminisce” Safaru, iLLBliss, Toni Tones and some new faces such as Nse Ikpe-Etim, Osas Ighodaro, veteran actor, Richard Mofe Damijo and several others.
Netflix Naija has also been teasing the film, giving us sneak peeks into what we should expect.
Understanding the dark side of Nigerian politics.
Nigeria is large country riddled with corruption and struggle for power at whatever cost. It’s been a running theme in the history of the country and as such it has been difficult to bring culpable people to justice.
King of Boys depicts what goes on underground in Nigerian politics in the quest for power. Sola Sobowale’s character in the film lays that perfect example.
The depth to which it was exposed in the first film will continue in this sequel and this is an eye opener on why the push for good governance, accountability and transparency must continue, because if it doesn’t, it will come at the cost of country remaining stagnant and innocent lives wasting away.
Three years after the release of King of Boys, the highly-awaited sequel to one of the highest-grossing Nollywood movies of all time is coming to Netflix, but this time as a seven-episode series on August 27, 2021.
However, her shocking, unannounced return rattles the cages of her enemies – both old and new. And once-trusted allies desert her at her most vulnerable moment, all while she faces an even greater battle within herself for the redemption of her tortured soul.
Makanaki ( Reminisce) Odogwu Malay (Ill Bliss ), Aare Akinwande ( Akin Lewis), Sade Bello ( Osas Ighodaro), Ade Tiger ( Titi Kuti), and President Mumusa (Keppy Ekpeyoung) reprise their roles from the first movie.
New additions to the cast include First Lady Jumoke Randle (Nse Ikpe Etim), Reverend Ifeanyi (Richard Mofe-Damijo), Dapo Banjo( Efa Iwara), Adetola Fashina (Deyemi Okanlawon), Odudubariba (Charly Boy), and Governor Tunde Randle (Lord Frank)
Produced by Kemi Adetiba Visuals, King Of Boys.
Creator Kemi Adetiba
Series creator Kemi Adetiba released a 4-minute teaser for “King of Boys 2” that set social media abuzz with excitement in 2020. It strongly hinted at the return of the movie’s main villain, Makanaki (Reminisce), a character whose ambiguous fate left fans speculating.
Kemi Adetiba comments “When I decided to tell the King of Boys story, I never imagined it would take on a life of its own in the way it has. It’s been such an exciting ride from its introduction in 2018 to the Nigerian audience, and their reception was so incredible that the fans have been clamouring for more.
“I’m so honoured that today, I get to share the world of Eniola Salami and King of Boys 2: The Return of the King to a global audience, but this time with the massive backing of Netflix.
Continuing the King of Boys journey with Netflix is a big deal for me, especially as this time, it will be served to the world as a limited 7-part series.”
