Will there be a Season 2 of To Kill a Monkey? Here’s what we know

Released on July 18, 2025, on Netflix, the film, named To Kill a Monkey, introduced a new Nigerian crime thriller to the globe. It is a tale that begins with the coaxing of a young man (called Efemini) who is desperate to earn a living, into the circle of online haunts where they engage in online fraud.

His values are put to the test, and he is forced into making difficult decisions as he goes deeper. People wondered at once:

Is there a Season 2?

Upon its release, even the most basic discussions regarding morale, technology, and trust were brought about by To Kill a Monkey. The top-notch acting and the rich environment have been lauded by viewers, although they found that it could have been done better in the conclusion.

However, as Netflix has not released measures of viewership publicly, it is difficult to say how many people watched. Nevertheless, the hype on social media indicates that the series has attracted a following, and talk of a second season began shortly after airing. Along with all the talk, Netflix and author Kemi Adetiba have remained silent in relation to whether or not the show will be renewed. There is no official announcement or leak that Season 2 is under development.

It does not imply that the show will not continue, though; it may depend on the reaction of viewers and secret business schemes. Suppose we take a look at what we already have about season one, its reception, and what can result in season two.

The path of the first season of To Kill a Monkey

“To Kill a Monkey” was written, directed, and produced by Kemi Adetiba. It comprises eight episodes that explore crime, friendship, and personal limits. Filming wrapped in late 2024, and post-production finished just months before its July 18, 2025, release date. The show stars William Benson as Efemini and Bucci Franklin as his friend-turned-mentor in cybercrime.

Supporting cast members include Stella Damasus, Bimbo Akintola, and Chidi Mokeme. The episodes move at a steady pace, blending suspense with character moments. From Lagos streets to online schemes, each scene builds toward Efemini’s final test in the season finale.

Factors that could influence season two renewal

Several factors will shape whether “To Kill a Monkey” gets a Season 2. First is viewership: Netflix often looks at total hours watched in the first 28 days. Though those numbers are private, high social media engagement can tip the scales.

Second is creative intent: if Kemi Adetiba intended the story as a one-season arc, she may choose to keep it contained. Finally, production logistics, cast availability, budget, and timeline play roles. If Netflix sees value in expanding Efemini’s journey, they may greenlight a new chapter of the show.

Where to find updates on season two news

You can watch Netflix's official social media and press releases to keep up-to-date with Season 2 of To Kill a Monkey. Netflix will usually confirm autorenewals on X (previously Twitter) and during its quarterly investor conference calls.

The maker Kemi Adetiba can also reveal insider clues on her Instagram or even in interviews. Any news of renewal could be caught by industry sources such as Variety or Deadline early. These are the main sources to keep yourself updated on the latest word on Season 2, in case you have fallen in love with the show.

Trending

No Season 2 of “To Kill a Monkey” has been confirmed. The series stands as a complete eight-episode arc, but strong audience interest and creative possibilities leave the door open.

Keep an eye on official updates, and perhaps Efemini’s story will continue.
