Paramount just dropped the second official trailer for Children of Blood and Bone, and the January release is suddenly very close.
The movie, in theaters January 15, 2027, is Gina Prince-Bythewood’s adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s 2018 novel, the first book in the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy. Prince-Bythewood also co-wrote the screenplay with Adeyemi. In the kingdom of Orïsha, Zélie Adebola — played by Thuso Mbedu — is on a quest to restore magic after King Saran took it. She and her brother ally with the king’s daughter and son to fight back against his rule.
The cast is stacked: Damson Idris, Amandla Stenberg, Tosin Cole, Cynthia Erivo, Lashana Lynch, Zackary Momoh, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King, Idris Elba, and Viola Davis.
That’s the official Paramount Pictures upload. Two months to go.
