What is Reel Afrika?
Reel Afrika is a mobile-first streaming service for short-form African drama. Episodes run one to three minutes and are shot vertically, so a full episode fits a single phone screen with no rotating and no scrubbing.
How long is an episode?
One to three minutes. Series are written so each episode ends on a turn, which is what makes them work in the gaps in your day rather than requiring a dedicated viewing session.
How often do new episodes arrive?
Daily. Series release on a rolling schedule rather than dropping a full season at once, so there is something new each day rather than a binge and then a wait.
What can I watch on Reel Afrika?
The launch catalogue is 5 original series — Hidden Legacy, The Billionaire’s Secret, Runaway Girlfriend, The Billionaire Village Boy and The Village Love Triangle — across 5 genres: drama, romance, thriller, family, revenge.
What devices can I watch on?
Reel Afrika is built for phones, with apps planned for iOS and Android. The website works in any modern mobile or desktop browser.
When does Reel Afrika launch?
We have not announced a launch date yet. Joining the waitlist is the way to hear first — we will email you when the first episode goes live.
What happens when I join the waitlist?
We store the email address you enter and use it to tell you when Reel Afrika launches. That is the only thing it is used for. You can ask us to delete it at any time by emailing
[email protected].
Are the series in English?
Yes. The launch catalogue is in English, with stories rooted in African settings, casts and storytelling traditions.
