Renowned Nollywood actor and producer Femi Adebayo takes on a new challenge with his directorial debut, Seven Doors. This highly anticipated limited series is set to debut on Netflix on December 13, 2024. Set in the 18th century, the story intricately examines unity, cultural heritage, and societal conflicts within Yorubaland.
The star-studded movie follows a Yoruba king, played by Adebayo, who defies age-old traditions by marrying an Igbo queen, portrayed by Chioma Akpotha.
