Popular Nigerian comedian, Basket Mouth, has teased that his web series, Papa Benji, will be renewed for its third season. Hints of a third season come in the wake of reports that Basketmouth is currently working on a feature film that will begin production before the year runs out.
The comedian recently shared an Instagram post of a teaser featuring late music veteran Sound Sultan from the show’s first season with the caption, “season 3 is Coming Soon.” The comedy show’s second season ruled the screens for most of July 2021 and wrapped up after 14 seasons.
Based on satirical subject matters, the comedy is set in the peppersoup joint of Papa Benji (Bethel Njoku, aka Senator). The series also stars Basketmouth, Buchi, and Jemima Osunde, among other comic stars.
The comedian and filmmaker appeared to have scored major points in 2021 also with the release of Showmax’s first Nigerian original series, “Ghana Jollof,” which he created and starred in.
