Here are five Nollywood movies and series worth adding to your weekend binge.
1. Sibe
If you've followed Bimbo Ademoye's hilarious Sibe skits over the years, then this feature-length movie is one you shouldn't miss. And even if you haven't, you still shouldn't miss this one.
The film follows Sibe, a chaotic but lovable woman who never stops chasing her dreams despite life's constant setbacks. Things take an unexpected turn after a mysterious encounter at a church altar on a rainy night, where she crosses paths with Natasha's roaming spirit. From that moment, the story shifts into an engaging mix of comedy, suspense, and emotional moments as Sibe tries to navigate the troubles before her without abandoning the people she cares about.
Bimbo Ademoye leads an impressive cast that includes Uche Montana, Uzor Arukwe, Deyemi Okanlawon, Afeez Oyetoro (Saka), and Eucharia Anunobi.

2. Si Olorun (A Letter To God)
Si Olorun (A Letter To God) asks a question many people quietly wrestle with: what happens when the life you've built suddenly stops making sense?
Produced by Lizzy Jay, the film follows a successful woman who believes everything she has achieved came through her own effort. However, recurring dreams, painful memories, and unexpected setbacks force her to confront parts of her life she has long ignored. As the story unfolds, it explores faith, healing, forgiveness, and the difficult conversations people often have with God during life's toughest seasons.
The movie stars Lizzy Jay, KieKie, Temitope Aremu, Bose Akinola, and Peju Ogunmola.

Before 30
Family expectations, misplaced loyalty, and hidden secrets collide in Before 30.
The story centres on Adaeze, whose life is shaped by her mother's unwavering belief in a prophecy that declares her sister, Amara, as the family's destined saviour. While all hope is placed on one daughter, the other quietly bears the emotional weight of being overlooked. Unknown to the family, however, Amara is living a dangerous double life that threatens to destroy everything they believe.
Starring Eddie Watson Jr., Teniola Aladese, and Detola Jones, Before 30 is an emotional family drama that keeps viewers guessing until the final moments.

4. Extra Love
If you've ever wondered what life is really like for aspiring actors trying to break into Nollywood, Extra Love offers a refreshing perspective.
The 10-episode web series follows two struggling actors who are trying to build successful careers without losing themselves, or each other in the process. From endless auditions and difficult talent managers to industry politics and financial pressure, the series highlights the realities many actors face before finding success. It also balances those struggles with a heartfelt romance that gives the story its emotional core.
The cast includes Toluwani George, Mallum Arik, Kanaga Jnr, Bryan Okoye, Omosalewa Fafowora, Chioma Nwosu, and Obehi Aburime.

5. This Is Us Now
Biodun Stephen has built a reputation for telling deeply emotional stories, and This Is Us Now is no exception.
The film follows Adil and Amara, whose marriage is shaken after a traumatic home invasion leaves both carrying emotional scars in different ways. Rather than focusing solely on the tragedy, the story explores what happens after the headlines fade, how trauma affects love, trust, communication, and whether a relationship can survive when both people are hurting.
Taye Arimoro and Debby Felix deliver heartfelt performances that make this one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits roll.
