The official trailer for Red Circle was released on 3 May 2025, offering a first look at the upcoming Nigerian crime thriller ahead of its scheduled cinema release on 6 June. Directed by Akay Mason and produced by Rixel Studios, Red Circle follows the story of a journalist caught in the middle of a dangerous investigation.
Folu Storms stars as Fikayo Holloway, a reporter looking into a powerful crime syndicate operating in Lagos. The trailer shows her digging into a trail of corruption, drugs and murder, all tied to an influential businessman who uses money and violence to keep his secrets buried. As Fikayo’s investigation deepens, the threat to her life and her loved ones becomes clear.
The film was written by Abdul Tijani-Ahmed, who also co-produced the project with Nora Awolowo. The cast includes Bukky Wright, Timini Egbuson, Tobi Bakre, Lateef Adedimeji, Omowunmi Dada, Mike Afolarin, Femi Branch, Ruggedman and Debo Macaroni. Scenes from the trailer suggest a mix of fast-paced action and psychological drama, with Lagos serving as both the setting and a source of tension.
Filmed on location in Lagos, the story explores the risks journalists face when exposing powerful figures, and how truth-seeking can come at a heavy cost. The trailer has sparked interest online for its polished visuals and tense atmosphere, though full reactions will depend on how the film lands with audiences next month.
Red Circle will be released in Nigerian cinemas on 6 June 2025.
