The actor was discussing his creative process when he let slip that a follow-up to Seven Doors is already in the pipeline.
The filmmaker explained that he makes it a habit to revisit his previous work before starting new projects, a method he has applied to several of his past productions.
"I watch my movies after they've been released, especially when I want to produce another one. For instance, before I produced the sequel to 'Jagun Jagun', I watched the original, same as 'Ageshinkole'. Now I'm planning to do a sequel to 'Seven Doors', so I keep watching the original to do better," he said.
Beyond rewatching his films, Femi Adebayo said audience feedback plays a key role in shaping what comes next.
He added:
"I also go to read people's comments, good or bad, on my movies because it helps me decide what to do better."

Seven Doors was released in December 2024 and quickly established itself as one of the more celebrated Nollywood productions of that cycle.
The miniseries earned nominations and wins at two of the industry's most prestigious ceremonies.
At the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards, the series claimed the Best Lead Actress and Best Lead Actor categories.
The same year, it swept four awards at the Best of Nollywood Awards, taking home Best Production Design, Best Special Effect, Best Series, and Best Cinematography.
With six wins across both events and a sequel now confirmed, Adebayo appears set on building Seven Doors into one of his signature franchises, much like Jagun Jagun before it.
