The world of ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ is coming to life in spectacular fashion!

Paramount Pictures has unleashed an extended new trailer for the hotly anticipated Fantasy epic, starring Thuso Mbedu, Damson Idris, Amandla Stenberg, Tosin Cole, Viola Davis, and more.

And the visual arrives with a musical treat too, serving up a first taste of Tems‘ new song ‘African Love Story’ from the film’s star-studded soundtrack.

Full story below…

Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (who helmed ‘The Woman King’), the blockbuster brings Tomi Adeyemi‘s bestselling novel to the big screen.

Set in the mythical kingdom of Orïsha, the story follows Zélie (Mbedu), a young woman determined to restore the magic violently stolen from her people.

Her mission sees her join forces with her brother Tzain (Cole), Princess Amari (Stenberg), and Prince Inan (Idris) as they challenge the kingdom’s ruthless ruler, King Saran (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

The new preview raises the stakes ahead of the film’s January arrival, showcasing the scale of its fantastical world, action, and powerful ensemble.

Joining the leads are Cynthia Erivo, Lashana Lynch, Regina King, Idris Elba, and Viola Davis.

As previously reported, the cast gave audiences an exclusive look at additional footage during New York Comic Con.

Tems Leads Star-Studded Soundtrack

Music forms a major part of the production, with Grammy winner Tems serving as executive music producer of the original motion picture soundtrack.

The Nigerian superstar has penned and recorded ‘African Love Story,’ which is featured in the new trailer and will be released on November 20 via RCA Records.

And she’s in stellar company.

As That Grape Juice revealed earlier this year, fellow Afrobeats titan Burna Boy serves as executive music consultant.

The newly confirmed soundtrack lineup also includes Ayra Starr, Fireboy DML, BNXN, Kold AF, Obongjayar, Moelogo, Daecolm, Pa Salieu, Show Dem Camp, and Moonchild Sanelly.

Starr also makes her feature-film acting debut in the movie.

With a heavyweight cast and an equally impressive musical roster, the adaptation is shaping up to be a major big-screen event.

‘Children of Blood and Bone’ arrives exclusively in theaters and IMAX on January 22, 2027. It will land in US theaters a week earlier on January 15, 2027.
