The Epic movie "ANIKULAPO," directed by Kunle Afolayan, will launch in September.

The Nigerian director announced on Tuesday that the Netflix original will begin streaming on the service on September 30—months after Oyo state served as the location for principal photography.

In the starring character of "Anikulapo," Kunle Remi portrays a young guy who is searching for greener pastures in the historic Oyo empire.

Sola Sobowale, Bimbo Ademoye, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Taiwo "Ogogo" Hassan, Aisha Lawal, and other actors are slated to appear in the movie.

When the epic's start of principal filming was announced in February, the renowned director promised to wow viewers, especially because it will tackle topics comparable to those of HBO's popular series "Game of Thrones," but with a portrayal of Yoruba culture.

A new slate of African films, including EbonyLife's newly debuted "Elesin Oba, The King's Horseman," the much awaited adaptation of Wole Soyinka's play "Death and the King's Horseman," have been announced by Netflix.

The supernatural drama "The Brave Ones," based on African legend, also received a teaser from the streamer. Stars of the South African-produced series include Tony Kgorog, Bonko Khoza, Sthandiwe Kgoroge, and Sthandile Nkosi.
