Nollywood is bringing another star-studded title to Netflix this September, with Ramsey Nouah, Chidi Mokeme, Sharon Ooja, Uche Montana, Jackie Appiah and more set to appear in Ordinary People.

Directed by Moses Inwang, the upcoming Nigerian drama series is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 4, 2026.

Ordinary People follows seemingly ordinary individuals whose lives are thrown into extraordinary circumstances, placing them in situations that test their relationships, decisions and ability to deal with what comes their way.

The series brings together a large ensemble of Nigerian and African actors, with Ramsey Nouah, Chidi Mokeme, Sharon Ooja, Uche Montana, Lasisi Elenu, Jackie Appiah, Adjetey Anang, Aproko Doctor, Gbenga Titiloye, Michelle Dede, Eddy Watson, Groovy Mono and newcomer Margaret Echeghe among the confirmed cast. 

The project comes from Fortress Film Studios, the Lagos-based production company behind the series. Fortress describes Ordinary People as one of its upcoming titles, with the studio also confirming the project in its July 2026 announcement. 

For Moses Inwang, Ordinary People adds another major project to his filmography. The director has worked across different genres in Nollywood, including thrillers and dramas, and his latest project brings together an ensemble cast for a story where the circumstances surrounding everyday people take an unexpected turn.

The series also reunites audiences with several familiar faces. Ramsey Nouah and Chidi Mokeme are among the industry’s most recognisable actors, while Sharon Ooja, Uche Montana and Jackie Appiah bring further star power to the cast.

Beyond the leading names, the production features actors including Adunni Ade, Adjetey Anang, Michelle Dede, Shawn Faqua and Bimbo Manuel, adding to what is shaping up to be a sizeable ensemble.

With its combination of a well-known cast, an established Nigerian director and a Netflix release, Ordinary People is one of the upcoming Nigerian titles to look out for in September.

Ordinary People premieres on Netflix on September 4, 2026.
