Netflix's 2026 African slate continues to centre South Africa and Nigeria as its primary production markets on the continent. South Africa has been described internally as one of Netflix's global production hubs, with multiple originals in various stages of production.
Among the highlights: the acclaimed Aníkúlápó series is returning for a new season, cementing its place as one of Netflix Africa's flagship originals. Several additional SA and Nigerian originals are in production or pre-production for 2026 release.
The update comes amid a broader industry conversation about the sustainability of streaming investment in African content, with Amazon having pulled back from the region and Canal+/MultiChoice filling some of the gap alongside local platforms.
