How to Watch Story Story outside Ghana: VPN Guide 2026
Story Story runs on an unusual payment mix: some titles stream completely free, newer releases sell per episode or per full season, and a monthly plan at $12.99 unlocks the lot at once. The app, formerly known as Farmhouse Movies, took on a fresh name in early 2026: Story Story carries the Accra-made Farmhouse catalogue to viewers worldwide, spanning telenovelas, the thriller STRYKE and the feature Fortune Island. Behind it is the Ghanaian studio Farmhouse Productions, which launched the app back in 2020 as a pandemic-era pivot.
The app aims squarely at Ghana and the African diaspora, so the catalogue and prices follow that home market. When Story Story shows you a thinner line-up in the US or simply misbehaves, ExpressVPN brings the home experience back by switching your virtual location to Ghana. You then watch inside your own app in HD quality, paying for the Farmhouse subscription yourself.

What is Story Story
Story Story is the streaming app of Ghana’s Farmhouse Productions, based in Accra and founded by Ivan Quashigah. Until its rebrand in early 2026 it went by the name Farmhouse Movies. It streams the studio’s own Ghanaian series and films, among them YOLO and Fortune Island, in English. It runs on a hybrid model: a $12.99 a month subscription, pay-per-episode, seasonal rentals and some free titles. The app supports offline downloads and ships for iOS, including Mac and Vision Pro, and Android, worldwide in HD.

Company and history

- Flagship series YOLO (You Only Live Once) wins seven of eight awards at the Ghana Movie Awards, cementing it as one of the country's most-watched youth dramas.
- During the pandemic Farmhouse launches the Farmhouse Movies app on iOS and Android, offering a Ghanaian and African catalogue under a hybrid free, per-episode and subscription model.
- Farmhouse Movies gets a major app update in February, fixing sign-up and playback across several screens and adding support for newer Android versions.
- On 25 October the Farmhouse Movies app is temporarily pulled from Google Play before returning in an updated build; iOS users keep it on the App Store throughout.
- On 4 August, Ivan Quashigah, Farmhouse founder and CEO, is appointed chairman of the new board of Ghana's National Film Authority, raising the studio's standing in the industry.
- Farmhouse marks twenty years since its founding, and the trade press recaps its journey from classic production to running its own streaming app as the main distribution channel.
- The Farmhouse Movies app rebrands to Story Story in early 2026, bringing a new identity and redesign, while the package stays com.farmhousemovies.app and the catalogue carries over unchanged.

Tips & tricks you should know
5 tips from our Story Story testing team · Updated June 23, 2026
- If you only want one show like YOLO or Things We Do For Love, buy episodes or a full season instead of the $12.99 monthly plan.
- Browse the free Farmhouse Productions titles first to sample the Ghanaian series style before paying for anything.
- The interface is English-only, so comfortable English is all you need to follow STRYKE, Fortune Island and the rest of the catalogue.
- Story Story runs natively on M1 Macs and Apple Vision Pro, so you can watch the Farmhouse library on a big screen in HD.
- Travelling outside Ghana and seeing catalogue or payment glitches, connect through ExpressVPN to a Ghanaian server to load Farmhouse content as if you were home.
