To Kill a Monkey (2025) – Full Series Details
The highly anticipated limited series To Kill a Monkey premieres on Netflix on July 18, 2025.
Created, written, and directed by Kemi Adetiba, the 8-episode crime thriller follows Efemini, a down-on-his-luck everyman who is lured back into the dark world of cybercrime by an old friend. As he spirals deeper into this digital underworld, each decision forces him to weigh survival against integrity — with betrayal lurking at every turn.
The cast features Stella Damasus, William Benson, Damilola Adegbite, Ireti Doyle, Bimbo Akintola, Bucci Franklin, and Chidi Mokeme, bringing intense performances to a story rooted in desperation, ambition, and the dangers of online manipulation.
This marks another bold chapter in the career of Kemi Adetiba, the acclaimed Nigerian filmmaker behind King of Boys and The Wedding Party. Known for her signature blend of high-stakes storytelling and stylistic direction, Adetiba continues to carve a space for gritty, elevated Nollywood thrillers with global appeal. Through To Kill a Monkey, she explores the psychological and moral grey zones of Nigeria’s digital crime scene, drawing from real-world realities and cinematic tension.
