There are many reasons why Nollywood and all the other African film industries are set to do even better in 2019 than last year. Here are a number of upcoming African movies to look forward to in 2019.
Plan B
Dolapo Adeleke (aka LowlaDee), creator of the web-series “This is it”, is set to release a digital film directed by herself. She has partnered with a Kenyan company called Alfajiri in the production of “Plan B”.
The upcoming African movie is set to be released on February 14. Its synopsis will definitely strike you as one of those many stories that are strangely familiar. It also feels very real. “Plan B” features Sarah Hassan, Cathrine Kamau Karanja, Daniel Etim Effiong and Lenana Kariba.

The cast in “4th Republic” include Kate Henshaw, Sani Muazu, Bimbo Manuel, Linda Ejiofor, Yakubu Mohamed, Preachy Bassey, and Sifon Okoi. 4th Republic has no release date yet but is said to be available soon.
Oga John (Short Film)
It’s about time someone took mental illness awareness seriously in Nigeria. We are talking about all the different types of mental disorders, like schizophrenia, bipolarity and personality disorders. The producers of “Oga John”, however, chose OCD as the topic for their short film. They still manage to send a universal message regarding mental illness.
On our list of African movies to look forward to this year, this is the only one currently available. We still included it as it is a must-watch movie of 2019.
