Kemi Adetiba’s crime thriller King of Boys was arguably the best movie of 2018. And now that there’s a sequel on the way, streaming giant Netflix has already acquired the rights to King of Boys 2!

The blockbuster sequel, which is set for release in 2021; is one of many Nollywood movies that Netflix has looped in as part of its investment in African entertainment. However, King of Boys 2 is one of the first to ever become a Netflix original.

OAL is pleased to have advised Kemi Adetiba Visuals in contract negotiation, strategy and Intellectual Property (IP) for King of Boys – the sequel project. The KOB sequel will be a Netflix Original!

And after Netflix listed Kemi Adetiba in its ‘Groundbreaking Women in Entertainment‘ list; it is no surprise that they want to hit the ground running with this highly successful movie franchise.

A few days ago, Adetiba revealed on Twitter and Instagram that they had wrapped up the principal photography for KOB 2 in post production.
