UniLife Debuts In Lagos, Excites Movie Buffs
Two hours before the official launch of the Nollywood drama series, UniLife, guests including cast, crew, entertainment industry leaders, influencers and press were on red carpet last Sunday to celebrate the debut of a series poised to redefine young adult storytelling in Africa. The colourful session featured interviews, photos, and behind-the-scenes conversations with the creative minds behind UniLife.
The event organizsed by 9jaStudio Entertainment at its Lagos production studio facility in Magodo, Lagos was streamed live on YouTube 9jaStudio Channel for guests to watch. But at 6 pm, guests were all seated in a banquet style setting within the double volume studio space. They were glued to their screens and watched back to back the first three gripping episodes of UniLife (where secrets, love and danger collide) on their mobile phones. The crowd’s reaction ranged from emotional to electrified, confirming the show’s resonance with young audiences hungry for relatable, high-stakes drama.
UniLife follows the lives of Nigerian university students as they navigate the highs and lows of campus life. But what begins as a coming-of-age drama quickly unravels into a compelling thriller when a missing student’s mysterious death sends shockwaves throughout the campus. 9jaStudio Founder, Producer and Showrunner Mr. Frank Adekunle Macaulay said the series is more than just entertainment adding that it tackles real social issues on Nigerian campuses.
“It’s about telling the truth of our youth with courage, creativity, and conviction. UniLife dives deep into the real life wahala: peer pressure, cultism, religion, class struggles, the hustle for identity that take place on our campuses,” he added.
The event also served as a showcase for the fresh talent emerging from 9jaStudio’s Screen Acting Boot Camp (SABC), where many of the cast were trained in specific screen acting techniques. With a majority Gen-Z cast and production team, UniLife proudly represents a new era in Nollywood.
According to Macaulay, following the premiere, new episodes will drop every Thursday in June, starting with Episode 4 on June 5th and culminating with the drama
tic series finale, Episode 7, on June 26th. Macaulay brings over two decades of experience working with young creatives. His vision is rooted in portraying real Nigerian youth stories often ignored by the mainstream. 9jaStudio aims to deliver bold, authentic youth content to amplify the voices of the next generation.
He disclosed that 9jaStudio Entertainment runs a unique and bespoke Screen Acting Boot Camp (SABC) training that serves as a talent launch-pad, equipping aspiring actors and filmmakers with hands-on immersive experiences and direct entry into the industry.
