Kunle Afolayan has finally confirmed that his epic ‘Anikulapo’ is finally set to make its debut on the Netflix streaming platform.
The director confirms that the film will be released on Netflix on September 30, 2022.
The confirmation comes months after principal photography wrapped in Oyo state.
Starring Kunle Remi in the lead role, ‘Anikulapo’ follows a young man’s quest for greener pastures in the ancient Oyo kingdom.
The film stars Sola Sobowale, Bimbo Ademoye, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Taiwo ‘Ogogo’ Hassan, Aisha Lawal and more.
Principal photography for the epic was announced in February, with the revered filmmaker promising to leave film lovers bedazzled especially as it would explore similar themes as HBO's hit series 'Game of Thrones' but with a representation of the Yoruba culture.
Fresh details on the soon-to-debut film come amid Netflix’s announcement of a fresh slate of African titles including EbonyLife’s recently unveiled ‘Elesin Oba, The King’s Horseman’, the anticipated adaptation of Wole Soyinka’s play ‘Death and the King’s Horseman'.
