Throne and Thorns (2026) is a gripping Nigerian royal epic packed with palace politics, forbidden desire, betrayal, and the heavy burden of leadership. Set in the powerful Uguachina Kingdom, the film follows a royal household on the verge of collapse as a deadly dispute over a coal mining site fuels bloodshed, corruption, and rising tension between neighboring kingdoms.

With the king’s health failing, the elders demand a successor—yet the kingdom’s fate hangs between two princes with opposite destinies. One prince is disciplined, compassionate, and respected by the people but struggles with the weight of the crown. The other is reckless, arrogant, and dangerously obsessed with power, pleasure, and immediate gratification—threatening to turn the throne into chaos.

Into this unstable palace enters Kendall, a mysterious orphaned commoner brought in as a palace maiden. But her presence triggers unexpected shifts in loyalty, love, and suspicion. As royal ambition collides with tradition, secret plots emerge, alliances are tested, and a princess’s arrival escalates the fight for the crown.

From council drama to romantic tension and assassination attempts, Throne and Thorns delivers a “Game of Thrones–style” Nollywood experience—where every decision has consequences and the crown is both a blessing and a curse.
