After weeks of intense anticipation, the trailer for ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ is here.
Directed by the award-winning Funke Akindele, the movie brings back one of Nollywood’s most beloved characters—Jenifa, the chaotic yet lovable personality played by Akindele herself. Known for infusing her unique brand of humor into every project, Akindele is set to deliver a delightful holiday treat with this latest addition to the Jenifa franchise.
Since its inception with the 2008 hit movie Jenifa, the franchise has become a cultural phenomenon. Akindele followed up with The Return of Jenifa in 2011 and later expanded the narrative with the widely acclaimed TV series Jenifa’s Diary, produced under her Scene One Productions banner. Over the years, the series has become a household name, cementing Jenifa’s place in the hearts of fans.
Now, Akindele is taking audiences on a nostalgic journey with Everybody Loves Jenifa, set to premiere nationwide on December 13. The comedy-drama promises a blend of humor and heartfelt moments while building upon the franchise’s rich history.
Adding to the excitement, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast. Fan favorites like Falz, Omotunde ‘Lolo’ Adebowale-David, and Olayode Juliana will reprise their roles, joined by new faces such as Chimezie Imo, Layi Wasabi, Bisola Aiyeola, Jackie Appiah, and Omowunmi Dada.
Coming off the success of A Tribe Called Judah, which set a record as the highest-grossing Nigerian movie, expectations are sky-high for Akindele’s latest project. Packed with nostalgia, laughter, and holiday cheer, Everybody Loves Jenifa is shaping up to be another unforgettable addition to the beloved franchise.
