Tell Me More
Agesinkole: King of Thieves Part 2 will be available for streaming on Netflix starting July 24, 2026, continuing the epic saga of power, betrayal, and supernatural reckoning in the kingdom of Ajeromi. This release gives audiences across Africa the chance to follow the story’s next chapter without delay, following its cinema run.
The sequel picks up after the events that left the kingdom of Ajeromi forever changed. In the original story, Agesinkole (played by Femi Adebayo) emerges as a powerful force disrupting the prosperous Yoruba kingdom ruled by King Adegbite (Odunlade Adekola). What begins as acts of banditry escalates into a larger confrontation involving warriors, hunters, priests, and spiritual powers. The narrative draws deeply from Yoruba traditions, exploring themes of injustice, revenge, loyalty, and the consequences of broken oaths.
Agesinkole Part 1 Is Already Streaming on Netflix
If you haven’t seen the first film yet, now is the perfect time. King of Thieves (Agesinkole) Part 1 started streaming on Netflix across Africa on June 26, 2026, and is also available on Circuits for audiences outside the region. This timing allows viewers to catch up on the full backstory right before the sequel drops.
The 2022 film, directed by Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo and produced by Femi Adebayo, stood out for its ambitious production values. With a substantial budget for a Yoruba-language project, it featured detailed costumes, large-scale scenes, and strong performances from an ensemble cast that included Toyin Abraham as the Queen, Ibrahim Chatta, Lateef Adedimeji, Broda Shaggi, and veterans like Adebayo Salami. It grossed over ₦320 million at the box office and received praise for elevating Yoruba epic storytelling with high production values while staying rooted in cultural mythology and history.
What Makes the Agesinkole Series Stand Out
What makes the Agesinkole series distinctive is its approach. It is not simply an action tale but one that incorporates Yoruba concepts of destiny, spiritual balance, and communal responsibility. Audiences have responded to the way the films portray a kingdom grappling with corruption, betrayal from within, and the intervention of forces beyond ordinary human control. Femi Adebayo’s dual role as producer and lead actor has been central to maintaining consistency in tone and cultural authenticity across both parts.
For those new to the story, Part 1 sets up Agesinkole’s origins, his confrontation with the kingdom, and the mystical dimensions that make him such a formidable presence. The sequel builds on the unresolved tensions, showing how the kingdom attempts to move forward, only for old wounds and new ambitions to pull it back into turmoil. Viewers can expect continued strong visuals, ensemble performances, and narrative depth that rewards paying attention to character motivations and cultural references.
The back-to-back streaming availability of both parts creates a rare opportunity for audiences to experience the saga as a continuous event. Whether you are drawn to epic action, supernatural intrigue, or stories grounded in Yoruba heritage, the Agesinkole series offers a well-crafted example of modern Nollywood storytelling that respects its roots while delivering big-scale entertainment.
In Summary
Watch Agesinkole: King of Thieves Part 1, now streaming on Netflix, and catch Part 2 when it arrives on July 24.
