      Amazon Prime Video to release first African original film in April
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      'Gangs of Lagos' builds on Prime Video’s commitment to invest in Nigeria and the Nollywood film industry.

      Streaming service Amazon Prime Video has announced its first African Original movie, Gangs of Lagos, which will be released on April 7 in Nigeria, sub-Saharan Africa, and worldwide. Alongside the launch date, Prime Video also revealed a teaser trailer, key art and character posters from the movie. 

      The film is directed by Jáde Osiberu, and stars Nigerian actors Tobi Bakare, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Chike Osebuka, Chioma Chukwuka, and Iyabo Ojo.

      With Gangs of Lagos, Prime Video continues its commitment to bringing African films and series to a global audience through exclusive deals with the film’s director, Jáde Osiberu, as well as her production company Greoh Studios.

      Gangs of Lagos is an action crime-thriller, with an authentic storyline centred on a group of childhood friends who each have to navigate destiny, growing up on the bustling streets and neighbourhood of Isale Eko, Lagos. It features elaborate set pieces, action scenes, and engaging dialogue, balanced by a high-octane pace and emotionally grounded story at its core. Starring Tobi Bakre, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Chike Osebuka, Chioma Chukwuka, and Iyabo Ojo, Gangs of Lagos is directed and produced by Jáde Osiberu.

      Speaking about the film, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, head of Nigerian Originals, Prime Video, said: “Gangs of Lagos is a unique story about family and friendship, against the action-packed backdrop and striking set pieces of the streets of Lagos. As the first Nigerian Original to launch on Prime Video, Gangs of Lagos sets the tone and standard, with the authentically Nigerian storyline in a genre that is so popular around the globe, making it a movie for our audiences at home and abroad.”

      Jáde Osiberu added: “I’m thrilled to be introducing audiences to this epic storyline and A-List talent from Nigeria with the launch of Gangs of Lagos. It’s a great opportunity to elevate Nigerian stories on a global scale with Prime Video.”

      Ned Mitchell, head of African and Middle East Originals, Prime Video, stated: “At Prime Video, we are looking to work with original voices to create spectacular stories and events that audiences can connect with wherever they may be. Gangs of Lagos launching will truly be a global cultural moment that marks the beginning of a new era in storytelling, where audiences everywhere can see the full power of Nigerian and African voices and the depths of our continued commitment to the local TV and film industry.”

      The Nigerian content joins Prime Video’s selection of global Amazon Original and Exclusive series and movies, such as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys, Riches, and Coming 2 America.
