According to Vanguard News, the legendary production house Wale Adenuga Productions (WAP) has launched a fresh season of the iconic Superstory series titled “Game Boys.” This new installment, which began airing this weekend, shifts the focus toward the viral and controversial world of cybercrime, exploring the social and moral consequences of “Yahoo-Yahoo” culture in Nigeria.
The series is known for its “we are nothing but stories” tagline and has been a staple of Nigerian TV for decades. By tackling cybercrime, the producers are aiming for a younger, more tech-savvy audience while maintaining the moral storytelling that made the show a household name.
The premiere has already sparked discussions on social media, with many praising the realistic portrayal of the pressure young Nigerians face. The “Game Boys” season is expected to feature a mix of veteran actors and fresh faces from the skit-making world, bridging the gap between traditional TV and viral digital content.
Supporting this, Legit.ng reported that “Superstory returns with ‘Game Boys’ to tackle the rising tide of cybercrime,” while The Nation quoted the producers saying, “This season is a mirror to society, showing the dark side of the fast life.”
Echotitbits Take
Superstory is fighting for relevance in the era of Netflix and Showmax. By leaning into the “Yahoo-Yahoo” narrative, they are hitting a topical nerve. If the writing is sharp enough to avoid being “preachy,” this could revitalize the WAP brand for a Gen Z audience that usually ignores traditional TV.
