FE TV HUB and Brendance and Crusaders Limited, producers of the Inferno Runway: Mr and Miss Nigeria International reality show, have announced plans to expand the fashion and entertainment platform across Africa ahead of its 2026 edition.
The organisers disclosed that the initiative, which combines fashion, entertainment, culture and youth empowerment, is entering a new phase of international growth following the successful staging of its 13th and 14th editions.
According to the organisers, the platform was established to provide young African designers, models and other creatives with opportunities to showcase their talents on a global stage.
They noted that several participants who emerged through the competition have gone on to secure international exposure, including opportunities in New York and other major fashion destinations.
Speaking on the planned expansion, the show’s producer, Bob Cal, said the project was conceived with a broader continental vision.
“Inferno Runway was created to show the world that African fashion and entertainment can compete globally,” he said.
“What started as a dream is gradually becoming an international movement connecting African creativity to the world.”
The organisers revealed that discussions and preparations are underway to extend the franchise to other African countries, including Kenya and Ghana, while also strengthening partnerships within Nigeria to support future editions of the programme.
They expressed confidence that the expansion would create additional opportunities for emerging talents across the continent and further promote African fashion and culture on the international stage.
The organisers also announced that David Brownson emerged as the winner of the Inferno Runway Reality Show 2025, while Queen Tracy Okodede currently holds the title of Miss Nigeria International 2025/2026.
The expansion plan comes amid growing global interest in African fashion, entertainment and creative industries, with several platforms increasingly seeking to project African talent to international audiences.
