Toyin Abraham Returns To Cinemas With BESTIE On December 16

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham is set to return to cinemas with her latest movie, BESTIE, which is scheduled for nationwide release on December 16, 2026.

The actress announced the new project on Friday, September 4, as anticipation continues to build around the upcoming festive-season cinema releases.

According to available information, BESTIE marks another major cinema outing for Abraham, who has continued to strengthen her reputation as one of Nigeria’s prominent actresses, filmmakers and box-office performers.

The announcement comes after the strong performance of her previous cinema release, Oversabi Aunty, which crossed the ₦1 billion mark at the Nigerian box office and earned recognition from the National Film and Video Censors Board.

Abraham had earlier hinted that she was preparing another cinema project for the December period after revealing that Alábọ̀sí 2 would be her final YouTube movie release for 2026.

The filmmaker subsequently teased fans with promises of another major project, describing it as a new chapter and suggesting that bigger stories were on the way.

With BESTIE now set for December 16, the movie is expected to join the lineup of major Nollywood productions targeting audiences during the festive season, traditionally one of the busiest periods for Nigerian cinemas.

Details about the film’s full storyline, cast and official trailer have yet to be fully disclosed, but the announcement has already generated interest among Abraham’s fans and movie lovers.

The December release will also place BESTIE in a competitive cinema window, with other major Nigerian productions scheduled to debut around the same period.

For Abraham, the new project comes as she looks to build on the commercial success of Oversabi Aunty and further strengthen her position in Nigeria’s increasingly competitive cinema market.
