Nollywood audiences will soon get the opportunity to experience a fresh adaptation of one of the Bible’s most enduring stories when Remi and Nneoma arrives in cinemas nationwide on June 26, 2026.
The upcoming drama reimagines the story of Ruth and Naomi within a contemporary Nigerian setting, bringing themes of loyalty, resilience, grief and hope to modern audiences.
Set in Ikwerre, the film explores the powerful relationship between two women whose lives become deeply intertwined following a tragic loss.
Veteran actress Liz Benson-Ameye takes on the role of Nneoma, while Bisola Aiyeola stars as Remi, her daughter-in-law.
Together, they portray women forced to navigate difficult circumstances after the deaths of their loved ones.
As they struggle with widowhood and the emotional burden that follows, their relationship grows stronger, creating a moving story about family, sacrifice and unwavering support.
The film draws inspiration from the biblical account of Ruth, who famously chose to remain with her mother-in-law Naomi despite facing an uncertain future.
While retaining the emotional core of the original story, Remi and Nneoma introduces a distinctly Nigerian perspective, making the narrative relatable to contemporary viewers.
Beyond its emotional themes, the movie also tells a story of renewal. As Remi works to rebuild her life, she encounters an unexpected opportunity for love and happiness.
This development not only transforms her future but also offers Nneoma a renewed sense of hope after enduring significant hardship.
The production boasts an impressive cast featuring some of Nollywood’s most recognised talents. Alongside Liz Benson-Ameye and Bisola Aiyeola are Uche Montana, Ifeanyi Kalu, Tina Mba, Kelechi Udegbe and Buchi Franklin.
Their performances are expected to bring depth and authenticity to a story centred on human relationships and emotional healing.
Behind the camera is director Lyndsey Efejuku, who helms the project with a creative team dedicated to delivering a compelling cinematic experience.
The film was produced by actress and filmmaker Bikiya Graham-Douglas, while Solate Ovundah-Akarolo served as executive producer.
The screenplay was written by Priye Diri and Adelarin Awotedu, both of whom worked to adapt the timeless narrative for a modern audience.
Music also plays a significant role in the project. The soundtrack supervision was handled by Kalinè, whose previous work on acclaimed productions has earned praise from film lovers and critics alike. Her contribution is expected to enhance the emotional atmosphere of the movie.
With its blend of faith-inspired storytelling, cultural relevance and strong performances, Remi and Nneoma is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Nollywood releases of the month.
The film offers a heartfelt exploration of loss, friendship, family bonds and the possibility of new beginnings.
As anticipation continues to build, movie lovers across Nigeria are looking forward to seeing how this beloved biblical story has been transformed for the big screen.
When it premieres later this month, Remi and Nneoma will seek to remind audiences that even in moments of profound loss, hope and redemption can still emerge.
