Nigeria’s blockbuster film Blood Sisters took position 9 on Netflix’s top 10 of most-watched
The film released just a week ago has received warm reviews from film lovers catapulting the Netflix film into international acclaim.
Based on the latest available Netflix list of most-watched films, Blood Sisters took position 9 and has drawn roughly 11,070,000 viewing hours.
The movie has heavy actors like Dima-Okojie, Nancy Isime, Kate Henshaw-Nuttal, Deyemi Okanlawon, Uche Jombo, etc.
The movie is a series of limited episodes classified under the Crime TV Show genre. The movie belongs to Mo Abudu’s Ebony Live TV Studios. The series lasted only 1 week on the chart.
Nigerian movies have a huge fan base with viewers from all over Africa ranging from Nigerians to diaspora Africans. The rave acceptance the movie has gained along with the high number of African viewers could have played an important role in boosting the viewership.
If the movie maintains the current momentum, it could reach a record of more than 20 million hours of viewing, however, that will require more publicity and word-to-word recommendations.
Blood Sisters: A Shift in Nollywood Narrative Telling
The four-episode Nigerian crime thriller miniseries Blood Sisters premiered on Netflix on May 5, 2022, as Netflix’s first Nigerian original production.

The series follows the lives of two best friends, Kemi Sanya (Nancy Isime) and Sarah Duru (Ini Dima-Okojie), whose friendship is ruptured when Sarah’s fiancé, Kola Ademola (Deyemi Okanlawon), disappears during their engagement party. Sarah and Kemi become fugitives as they become entangled in a web of family drama, secrets, and a murder scheme.
Stellar Performances and Production
The acting is compelling, with Ini Dima-Okojie and Nancy Isime portraying a believable and fierce friendship. The presence of Kate Henshaw, playing the fiery Uduak Ademola, adds to the drama, and Genoveva Umeh’s performance as Timeyin Ademola, who is torn between being part of the family, is stunning for its realism.
The show has good production values, highlighting the various landscapes and cultures of Nigeria. The cinematography brings to life both the excesses and the squalor of Lagos, setting the tale as it unfolds in a tangible environment.
Blood Sisters explores timely issues of society, such as domestic violence, gender discrimination, and institutional corruption. The film upends conventional Nollywood clichés by engaging with multidimensional characters and eschewing unambiguous moral assessments. It emphasizes the challenges women endure and insists on the power of female solidarity.
Reception and Impact
When it was released, Blood Sisters was well received by critics and viewers. It went viral on social media websites, with people talking about its themes and the way it tells its stories. The show is considered a major milestone for Nollywood because it shows what the industry can do in terms of creating work that will appeal to local and global audiences.
Blood Sisters is a testament to the evolving Nollywood landscape, offering an innovative and exciting narrative that breaks with conventions and addresses challenging social challenges. Its success paves the way to more counter-cultural and globally entertaining Nigerian cinema.
