Nollywood is stepping into suspenseful new territory with the upcoming film Koma. It is a psychological thriller that has already started building anticipation across social media. With its official trailer scheduled to drop on Friday, September 26, 2025, and its nationwide cinema release confirmed for October 10, 2025. Koma is shaping up to be one of the standout Nigerian films of the year.
The Storyline of Koma
At its core, Koma tells the story of a woman who mysteriously falls into a coma. What begins as a medical crisis quickly unravels into a tale filled with love, betrayal, and secrets that cut deeper than the surface. The film explores how her condition exposes hidden truths, shakes relationships, and forces those around her to confront their darkest fears.
The tagline “Beyond Awakening” hints that the coma itself is only the beginning of the mystery. The narrative promises to blend emotional drama with psychological suspense. This promises to leave audiences questioning whether the events are purely human or touched by the supernatural.
Cast and Performances
Koma features a talented Nollywood ensemble ready to bring this haunting story to life. The cast includes:
-
Lolade Okusanya
-
Oma Oyama
-
Emem Ufot
-
Omeche Oko
-
Ian Wordi
-
Eso Dike
-
Bolanle Ninalowo
- Tomi Ojo
Together, they represent a mix of emerging and recognized Nollywood talents who are expected to deliver powerful, emotionally charged performances. From early promotional clips, the acting already suggests depth and intensity that will anchor the suspenseful plot.
Why Koma Stands Out
What sets Koma apart from other Nollywood thrillers is its dual identity as both a character-driven drama and a suspense film. By focusing on the emotional impact of the coma alongside the unraveling mystery, the movie offers audiences a fresh angle within Nigeria’s growing thriller and horror space.
The marketing campaign from striking posters to teaser reels, has been carefully building buzz online. With the trailer arriving September 26, fans will get their first full glimpse into the film’s tone and visual style before its big-screen debut.
With its October launch, Koma is perfectly timed for audiences looking for intense and thought-provoking Nollywood stories during the year’s final quarter.
