Rita Dominic Set to Star in Netflix Global Drama Series – A Big Win for Nollywood
Naijajistreal96.com.ng reports: In a groundbreaking move for the Nigerian movie industry, veteran actress Rita Dominic has officially been announced as a lead cast member in an upcoming Netflix Original Drama Series set to premiere in early 2026.
The yet-to-be-titled series is a multi-national production, bringing together talents from Nigeria, South Africa, the UK, and the US. According to sources close to the project, Rita Dominic will be playing the role of a powerful political figure entangled in a global corruption scandal — a role insiders say was “written with her in mind.”
Reacting to the news, Rita took to her Instagram page and wrote:
"I’ve always believed that African stories belong on the world stage. I’m honored and excited to be part of this journey. Let’s go global, Nollywood!"
The announcement has sparked excitement across social media, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding her comment section with congratulations and anticipation. The hashtag #RitaGoesGlobal is already trending on Twitter.
Why This Matters
For years, Nollywood has struggled to break into international markets with original stories told from the African perspective. This Netflix collaboration is another strong sign that the world is finally paying attention to the quality and potential of Nigerian cinema.
More Projects to Come?
Sources also hinted that this will not be Rita Dominic’s only international role this year. Talks are ongoing for another film in Canada, and she’s set to host a panel at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
Naijajistreal96.com.ng will be following the story as it develops. Stay tuned for more updates, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive interviews with Rita and other cast members.
