About

Nigeria has the talent. It has no way in. Telly is the way in.

Telly finds new stars through open auditions, tests them in a show the whole country can watch, and casts the best in original films. All of it only on Telly.

Why we do it this way

A national conversation

False Island puts 20 strangers on one island and the country watching. Reality gets people talking.

New stars

Telly turns that conversation into careers. The standouts are cast in six Telly Original films.

Only on Telly

Everything we make is exclusive to Telly, so the audience that finds the stars finds them here.
