Netflix has officially debunked rumors of its exit from Nigeria, reaffirming its commitment to investing in Nigerian storytelling.

Earlier today, social media was abuzz with speculation about Netflix leaving Nigeria. As reactions and rumors spread, the streaming giant had not issued a statement, leading to further uncertainty. However, following the reports of its alleged departure, a Netflix spokesperson reached out to our reporter to set the record straight.

Netflix’s clarification not only dispels these claims but also reinforces its ongoing dedication to Nigerian content. Over the years, the platform has been instrumental in bringing Nollywood productions to a global audience, curating a diverse range of local content, from romantic comedies to intense dramas. Netflix has also collaborated with Nigerian filmmakers, funding original productions like Blood Sisters and Aníkúlápó, both of which have earned international acclaim. This continued investment solidifies Netflix’s role as a major player in Nigeria’s film and television industry, supporting both established and emerging talents.

With the controversy now put to rest, one thing is clear: Netflix is not leaving Nigeria. As the platform remains at the forefront, the future of Nigerian streaming looks promising. For now, Nigerians can rest easy and look forward to more locally-produced content streaming on Netflix. “We are not exiting Nigeria. We will continue to invest in Nigerian stories to delight our members,” said Netflix.
