Funke Akindele is set for another big-screen moment. Her next feature film, The Four: No One Fights Alone, will hit cinemas worldwide on December 11, 2026.
Produced by Funke Akindele Network (FAAN TV) and distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, the film is the award-winning filmmaker’s first theatrical release since her record-breaking run with A Tribe Called Judah, Battle on Buka Street, and Everybody Loves Jenifa.
The Four is a powerful drama centered on friendship, motherhood, resilience, and the strength of women. Set between the serene Odu Community and the hustle of the city, the story follows Esosa and three fiercely loyal women who risk everything to fight for the future of a young man they love. Their journey tests their faith, courage, and loyalty in ways they never imagined.
The film promises rich visuals and cultural depth, weaving music, fashion, language, and tradition into a story about hope, sacrifice, and unity.
