Popular comedy sitcom, ‘My Flatmates’ has renewed its franchise with Africa Magic for a 10th season.
The move has seen the long-running sitcom, which was co-created by ace comedian Bright Basketmouth Okpocha and late filmmaker and director Kayode Peters, preparing for the 10th season.
With Africa Magic extending one of its most enduring comedy franchises on Nigerian television, the series will continue its run as a weekday staple across Africa Magic channels on DStv and GOtv, where it has maintained steady viewership since launch.
‘Reaching 10 seasons is a rare milestone in television and it speaks to the enduring strength of My Flatmates within Africa Magic’s comedy slate,’ says Atinuke Babatunde, Executive Head of Content and Channels, West Africa at MultiChoice Nigeria.
She adds: ‘The series continues to resonate with audiences because it reflects familiar realities through humor and relatable storytelling. This is what makes this renewal especially meaningful, and we are committed to continue investing in content that remains a consistent favourite with our audiences.’
Production on season 10 is currently ongoing with no premiere date announced yet.
Set around a group of eccentric friends navigating shared living, financial strain and everyday chaos, ‘My Flatmates’ has become one of the most recognizable contemporary sitcoms on Nigerian television, anchored by its mix of satire, slapstick and social commentary.
Across its run, ‘My Flatmates’ has featured a number of fan-favourite characters portrayed by actors including Basketmouth, Steve Onu (Yaw), Buchi, Bethel Njoku (Senator), Wofai Fada and several notable Nollywood guest stars.
Produced by Barons World Entertainment in partnership with Africa Magic, ‘My Flatmates’ is part of other long-running scripted series on West African television.
