Prime Video has released the first look at “Christmas in Lagos,” a romantic holiday comedy from “Gangs of Lagos” multi-talent Jade Osiberu starring chart-topping Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr and a stellar cast of Nigerian pop and film stars.

The film is the first and only original to emerge from Osiberu’s groundbreaking, multi-title pact with the streaming giant, which announced earlier this year that it would pause original productions in Africa. Osiberu confirmed to Variety that she has formally exited that deal.

Inspired by clues — and perhaps a few encounters — from “Love Actually,” “Christmas in Lagos” presents a series of interlocking stories set against the backdrop of Lagos’ boisterous “Detty December” festivities. The series follows four friends as they navigate friendship, love and loss during the holiday season.
