Anakle Films has officially confirmed the cast for The Black Book: Old Scores, the highly anticipated sequel to Nigeria’s global Netflix hit, The Black Book. Directed by Editi Effiong, the 2026 production features a massive 300-member international crew and a cast led by Richard Mofe-Damijo, Shaffy Bello, Kate Henshaw and Bright Okpocha.

Get your sunglasses ready, because the star power for the next chapter of the Black Book universe is officially blinding. Anakle Films has finally pulled back the curtain on the cast for The Black Book: Old Scores, and it is a breathtaking mix of the icons we’ve adored for decades and the fresh faces set to become Nollywood’s next breakout stars.

Sharing the news on social media, Effiong couldn’t hide his excitement, noting that he felt deeply grateful to work with so many people he actually grew up watching on screen. Leading the charge once again is Richard Mofe-Damijo, reprising his role as Paul Edima, but he’s in truly elite company this time around.

The lineup features Nollywood royalty like Alex Usifo, Zack Amata, Sola Fosudo, and Ejike Asiegbu. We’re also getting a healthy dose of charisma from Enwongoabasi Ibom, Chidi Ajufo, Ayobami Awe, William Benson, Soibifaa Dokubo, Mallum Arik, Emeka Okoye, and Boki Ofodile. Adding an international flavour to the mix are Masami Kosaka and Rick Kiesewetter — making it clear that this sequel is looking far beyond our borders.

Behind the lens, the scale is just as massive, with a 300-strong international crew pulled from the UK, US, China, and Japan. The production is a historic collaboration between Anakle Films and Invention Studios, bringing on board Emmy-nominated producer Nicky Weinstock (Severance) to work alongside Effiong and Mimi Bartels. With BAFTA-winner Yinka Edward handling cinematography and David Mosadoluwa stepping in for production design, the visual world of the Niger Delta is set to look absolutely stunning.
