Comedians, Basketmouth and Bovi, will be the hosts of an exclusive Big Brother Naija recap show, Big Brother Naija Hot Room.
The show featuring the celebrated comedians will run on video streaming service, Showmax.
Showmax will live-stream all Sunday eviction episodes of Big Brother Naija as well as the finale, and recordings of the nomination shows will be posted on Tuesdays.
In addition to this, two brand-new exclusive shows will be aired, Big Brother Naija Extra View is a 25-minute compilation of unseen footage and will be added to the site daily from Tuesday to Saturday.
Big Brother Naija Hot Room is a 25-minute satirical commentary on the week’s main drama and action, hosted by Basketmouth and Bovi, with new episodes coming every Sunday evening ahead of the evictions.
Speaking about the new service, Niclas Ekdahl, CEO of MultiChoice Group’s Connected Video division, said: “We’re aiming for the sweet spot that other services may have missed.
“Taking a generic service and tacking on a few Nollywood movies won’t cut it, so we’re coming in with a strong mix of bang up-to-date Nigerian shows, international hits and favourites from across Africa, and now, as something completely new: on-demand and live Big Brother Naija content.”
Showmax has launched a video-on-demand service in Nigeria. Priced at N2,900 per month, the video streaming service features a dedicated slate of Nigerian TV shows and movies, international hit series and Hollywood blockbusters
