Where to watch Nollywood films now

Want to watch the latest titles? Check global platforms like Netflix and Prime Video — they now host big-budget Nigerian films and series. Local platforms such as IROKOtv and Showmax still carry wide Nollywood libraries and exclusive releases. Don’t forget cinema releases: Lagos and Abuja often get premieres that later expand to other African cities. Tip: follow official film pages on social media for screening dates and ticket drops.

Streaming rights change fast. If a film is on one service today it may move next season. We report on new deals and removals so you know where to stream without guessing. For quick searches, pair the movie title with the word "stream" or the platform name — that often surfaces exact availability.

Who to follow and what to expect

Keep an eye on a mix of big names and rising talent. Established actors and directors still set the headlines, but writers, producers and cinematographers are getting more attention — and awards. Film festivals and the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards are good indicators of which projects will break out internationally.
