'The Wedding Party' Is Getting A Sequel In Dubai
2016 was a pretty great year for Nollywood: from the pedigree of the TIFF-selected dramas, 93 Days and '76, to the box office power of Kemi Adetiba's debut feature, The Wedding Party – which is now the highest grossing Nollywood film of all time.
To capitalize on the traction the film got and is still getting – it just made it's Netflix debut – we will be getting a sequel set in Dubai, The Wedding Party 2.
In the original film, notorious bachelor Dozie (Banky W) sets out to marry Dunni (Adesua Etomi). Against a chaotic and hilarious backdrop of family squabbles and damaging stag-night revelations, they finally tie the knot.

The Wedding Party 2
In the sequel, the groom’s brother, Nonso (Enyinna Nwigwe), has continued his romance with Deirdre (Daniella Down), the bridesmaid from London.
Nonso proposes by accident, while on a dinner date, and sets off a chain of events too powerful to stop. Deirdre’s upper-crust British family are against the pairing, as are some members of the Nigerian clan, but Deirdre’s determination can’t be stopped.
After a near-disastrous introduction ceremony in Lagos, both families reluctantly agree to a wedding in Dubai, setting off another colourful, chaotic and memorable journey to everlasting love.
Principal photography starts on May 1.
