One year later, one question refuses to die: Should To Kill A Monkey return for Season 2, or is it already the perfect ending?
Exactly one year after Kemi Adetiba’s acclaimed Netflix crime thriller premiered, the award-winning filmmaker has reignited conversations about the future of the series and fans have plenty to say.
Celebrating the show’s first anniversary, Adetiba reminded audiences that Season 1 is still streaming on Netflix, a post that quickly evolved into something much bigger.
Instead of simply looking back at the series’ success, fans immediately began asking the question that has lingered since the final episode: Will there be a Season 2?
Released on July 18, 2025, To Kill A Monkey became one of Nollywood’s biggest streaming successes, earning praise for its layered storytelling, morally complex characters, and Kemi Adetiba’s signature cinematic style.
The eight-episode crime thriller followed Efemini’s descent into cybercrime after reconnecting with an old friend, exploring how desperation, loyalty, ambition, and betrayal can change a person’s life forever.
Unlike many series that fade from public conversation after their release, To Kill A Monkey has continued to generate discussions months later, a sign that its ending left audiences thinking long after the credits rolled.
One of the most interesting reactions isn’t just that fans want another season, it’s why they want one.
Across social media, many viewers believe there are still unanswered questions that deserve another chapter.
Among the biggest talking points is the fate of Oboz, one of the series’ most memorable characters. A significant number of fans are hoping his story isn’t over, with many speculating about a possible return.
Others want answers surrounding:
- What really became of Oboz’s family?
- What happened after the betrayal involving his close friend?
- Are there consequences from the events of Season 1 that audiences haven’t seen yet?
For these viewers, Season 2 wouldn’t simply be another sequel, it would be an opportunity to complete stories they believe were intentionally left open.
Not everyone shares that excitement.
Another section of the fanbase believes To Kill A Monkey achieved something increasingly rare in modern television: it knew when to stop.
Many argue that extending the story could weaken the emotional weight of the original ending, pointing out that not every successful series needs another season simply because audiences loved it.
Instead, they see the finale as a satisfying conclusion that should remain untouched.
Perhaps the loudest vote of confidence has come from fans who say they’re willing to follow Kemi Adetiba wherever she takes the story.
Known for acclaimed projects like King of Boys and The Wedding Party, Adetiba has built a reputation for ambitious storytelling and cinematic execution.
For many viewers, that’s enough reason to believe that if a second season does happen, it will be carefully planned rather than rushed.
Their argument is simple: if anyone can justify revisiting To Kill A Monkey, it’s Kemi Adetiba herself.
Has Season 2 Been Confirmed?
For now, no official Season 2 announcement has been made.
While Adetiba’s anniversary post has fueled speculation and renewed excitement, neither Netflix nor the filmmaker has confirmed that another season is in development.
Still, the renewed conversation proves something important: one year after its release, To Kill A Monkey remains one of the Nigerian series people are still talking about.
And in today’s fast-moving streaming landscape, that’s no small achievement.
Some stories leave you entertained. Others leave you asking questions months or even years later.
To Kill A Monkey seems to have done both.
Whether the story continues or remains a one-season masterpiece, one thing is certain: fans haven’t stopped thinking about it.
