A new Yoruba drama movie titled Ika Bintin is set to premiere on the ApataTV+ YouTube Channel, bringing together a strong cast of familiar faces from the Yoruba film industry.
Produced by Kehinde Bolaji under Simple World Entertainment and directed by Abisoye Farouk, the upcoming movie is already generating anticipation following the release of its official trailer and promotional materials in August 2026.
The production is expected to join the growing number of Yoruba movies making their way directly to digital platforms, giving audiences access to new stories without a traditional cinema release.
‘Ika Bintin’ Set For ApataTV+ Premiere
Ika Bintin is scheduled to premiere next on the ApataTV+ YouTube Channel, although an exact premiere date has not been announced in the available information.
The producers have been building anticipation for the project through promotional announcements and the release of its official trailer.
The trailer offers audiences an early look at the movie and its characters while setting the stage for the drama that will unfold when the full production premieres.
With ApataTV+ serving as its digital platform, viewers can expect the movie to be made available online once the official release date is confirmed.

The movie is produced by Kehinde Bolaji through Simple World Entertainment.
Bolaji leads the production team behind the project, working alongside director Abisoye Farouk to bring the Yoruba drama to audiences.
The collaboration brings together a production team and cast with experience in Yoruba-language entertainment.
As anticipation continues to build, the release of the trailer has provided fans with an opportunity to become familiar with the project ahead of its official premiere.
Abisoye Farouk Directs
Abisoye Farouk serves as the director of Ika Bintin.
The filmmaker is responsible for translating the movie’s story into a visual production while working with the cast to develop the characters and dramatic moments.
The director’s contribution will be central to the overall presentation of the movie, particularly as the production prepares for its digital release.
The upcoming film is expected to appeal to audiences who regularly follow Yoruba dramas and enjoy stories featuring familiar actors from the industry.
Star-Studded Yoruba Cast
Ika Bintin features an ensemble cast that includes Lanre Adediwura, Yetunde Shodiya Oyinbo, Abiola Ajibike, popularly known as Otunba Omoajibike, Yemi Elesho, Ladi Folarin, Shem Inumidun, Opeyemi Okunlola and Omolaragold, among others.
The combination of established actors and other popular performers adds to the anticipation surrounding the production.
Lanre Adediwura is a recognisable face in Yoruba cinema, while the other cast members have also built followings through their appearances in Yoruba-language movies and entertainment productions.
Their involvement is expected to give the movie a strong ensemble dynamic as the different characters interact throughout the story.
Trailer Builds Anticipation
The official trailer for Ika Bintin was released in August 2026 as part of efforts to promote the upcoming production.
Trailer releases often provide audiences with an early glimpse into a movie’s characters, setting and dramatic direction, and the Ika Bintin trailer has helped create awareness ahead of its digital premiere.
The anticipation campaign has also kept the project in front of Yoruba movie fans as they wait for the full production to arrive on ApataTV+.
While the official premiere date is yet to be announced, the promotional activity confirms that the movie is preparing for its online debut.
Fans Await Official Release
The growing popularity of YouTube as a distribution platform has made it easier for Nigerian filmmakers to release movies directly to audiences.
Yoruba filmmakers in particular have increasingly embraced digital platforms to showcase new productions and reach viewers both in Nigeria and internationally.
Ika Bintin is set to follow that path when it premieres on ApataTV+.
With Kehinde Bolaji serving as producer, Abisoye Farouk as director and a cast featuring Lanre Adediwura, Yetunde Shodiya Oyinbo, Abiola Ajibike, Yemi Elesho, Ladi Folarin, Shem Inumidun, Opeyemi Okunlola and Omolaragold, the movie has already attracted attention ahead of its release.
For now, fans will have to wait for the official premiere date announcement.
