Kemi Adetiba’s “To Kill A Monkey” Is Now Streaming on Netflix, And It’s Every Bit As Gripping As Promised

The wait is over. Kemi Adetiba’s highly anticipated 8-part series, To Kill A Monkey, has officially landed on Netflix, and if the trailer had you holding your breath, the full series will keep you glued from start to finish.

Told through a gritty lens, To Kill A Monkey follows Efemini, a man whose mundane existence is upended by a chance reunion with an old friend. Faced with desperation, he spirals into the shadowy world of cybercrime, where every shortcut comes with a cost, and morality is the first casualty.

Written, directed, and produced by Kemi Adetiba, this marks her bold return to the screen after King of Boys: Return of the King. And once again, she’s assembled an unmissable ensemble:

William Benson, Bucci Franklin, Bimbo Akintola, Stella Damasus, Chidi Mokeme, Sunshine Rosman, Lilian Afegbai, Ireti Doyle, Teniola Aladese, Michael Ejoor just to name a few.

The show’s haunting score, composed by Oscar Heman–Ackah, layers beautifully under Adetiba’s trademark visual tension. Produced under the Kemi Adetiba Visuals banner alongside Remi Adetiba, this series pushes boundaries both narratively and stylistically.

Whether you’re here for the slick cinematography, the powerhouse performances, or the pulse-racing tension, To Kill A Monkey is a masterclass in storytelling.

Now streaming. Only on Netflix.
