In a bold move set to reshape the digital Nollywood landscape, renowned business leader and Group CEO of Wakanow, Bayo Adedeji, also known as Bayo Lion, and Samuel ‘Bigsam’ Olatunji, a powerhouse in filmmaking and entertainment, are teaming up to launch an electrifying new YouTube channel, BigLion Pictures, which is set to debut on September 25.

According to Adedeji, BigLion Pictures is more than just a content platform — it’s a fusion of vision, power, storytelling, and execution. He stated that every Thursday, the channel will deliver premium, must-watch Nollywood content featuring unforgettable stories, iconic performances, and world-class production quality.

The Wakanow boss brings his business acumen and creative flair to the project, having spearheaded successful ventures like Wave Beach, Athena Beach, and the upcoming Kyma Beach. “We are not here to compete; we are here to set the standard. BigLion Pictures is where excellence meets consistency, delivering stories that are bold, beautiful, and binge-worthy,” Adedeji said.

Lending his storytelling expertise and experience in talent management and Nollywood productions, Olatunji (Bigsam), CEO of The Hype Agency and Heavyweight Studios, said: “Our stories will evoke laughter, tears, reflection, and memories. This is culture, soul, and Nigeria in all its raw, refined, loud, and beautiful glory.

“New Nollywood drops every Thursday; no breaks, no dull moments. High-definition cinematic-quality storytelling shot and produced for a global audience, a rotating ensemble of A-list actors, breakout stars, and hidden gems. Powerful plots rooted in Nigerian life, family, love, betrayal, ambition, humour, and survival,” he added.

Beyond original content, BigLion Pictures will also offer high-end marketing productions, corporate advertising, branded content creation, and line production services. The company will also specialise in new Nollywood drops every Thursday, featuring A-list actors, emerging stars, and hidden talents.
