Ms Kanyin, a new supernatural thriller produced by Nemsia Studios and directed by Jerry Ossai, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 27, 2025. The film was announced with a teaser on June 21, followed by an official trailer released on June 24.

The project is positioned within the growing trend of Nigerian films debuting directly on streaming platforms, at a time when investment in local originals has become more selective among global streamers.

Plot and Genre

Set within the walls of a seemingly perfect school, Ms Kanyin explores the consequences of a broken rule that unleashes an evil presence. The narrative follows the unravelling of a deadly secret long buried beneath the school’s surface.

Promotional materials describe the film as a supernatural thriller, with thematic elements involving mystery, suspense, and possibly the supernatural consequences of past actions.

The Film stars Temi Otedola, Michelle Dede, Tolu George, Kanaga Jnr, Natse Jemide, Queen Damilola, Aduke Shittabey, Demola Adedoyin, Kalu Ikeagwu, Keppy Ekpenyong, Blessing Onwukwe, and Francis Onwochei.

Streaming Context

Ms Kanyin joins a growing list of Nigerian films opting for digital premieres on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, amid shifting dynamics in streamer-backed productions. While these platforms continue to license Nigerian content, their pace of commissioning local originals has reportedly slowed in 2025.

As such, Ms Kanyin arrives at a time when genre films and direct-to-streaming projects are becoming increasingly prominent in Nigeria’s digital-first film distribution strategy.
