The film, Children Of Blood And Bone, is to arrive in cinemas and IMAX on January 15, 2027.
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems has been named executive music producer and curator of the official soundtrack for the upcoming Hollywood fantasy film, Children of Blood and Bone, featuring fellow Nigerian stars Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Fireboy DML and BNXN.
The soundtrack, which is scheduled for release on November 20, also features Kold AF and other African artistes.
Tems announced her involvement in an Instagram post shared by the film’s official account, describing the opportunity as an honour.
“I am so honoured to be part of ‘Children of Blood and Bone’. I have curated this lovely soundtrack. I really cannot wait for you to hear it,” she said.
The singer also hinted that the project would feature new music from her and some of her friends.
“Get ready for some new songs from me as well as my very, very special friends,” she added.
Burna Boy is also part of the project as executive music consultant, while Tems is expected to contribute three original songs to the soundtrack.
The development builds on an earlier announcement in July, when the film’s director, Gina Prince-Bythewood, unveiled Tems’ role during the production’s trailer launch in New York.
Based on the bestselling fantasy novel by Nigerian-American author Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone is set in the mythical kingdom of Orïsha and follows Zélie Adebola on a mission to restore magic stolen from her people.
The film features an international cast led by South African actress Thuso Mbedu, alongside Damson Idris, Amandla Stenberg, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Cynthia Erivo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King and Nigerian actor Richard Mofe-Damijo. Ayra Starr also makes her feature-film acting debut in the production.
Directed by Prince-Bythewood and produced by Paramount Pictures, the film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas and IMAX on January 15, 2027.
