Fans, get ready for a nostalgic blast from the past—because a hilarious TV comedy that's captured hearts across Africa is making a triumphant return! If you've been missing the laughs and drama of Papa Ajasco & Company, this announcement is like a party invitation you won't want to ignore. But here's where it gets exciting: due to overwhelming fan requests, the award-winning season called 'Gen Z Papi' is set for a rerun, broadcasting on terrestrial and satellite TV not just in Nigeria, but in various parts of Africa starting November 25, 2025. And this is the part most people miss—while it's rerunning, the show's creators are already hard at work on fresh episodes, keeping the entertainment rolling.
For those new to the scene, Papa Ajasco & Company is a beloved Nigerian sitcom that blends humor, music, and everyday family antics in a way that's easy to relate to. The 'Gen Z Papi' season, in particular, follows the main character, Papa Ajasco himself—also known as Gen Z Papi—as he climbs the ladder to fame in the afrobeats music world. Imagine dealing with messy family dramas, intense rivalries with another musician named Emperor Agu, and all the chaotic twists that come with sudden stardom. It's like watching a modern take on the classic rags-to-riches story, but with plenty of punchlines and heartfelt moments to keep you hooked. Starring the iconic Papa Ajasco alongside regulars like Pa James, Mama Ajasco, Boy Alinco, and Miss Pepeiye, the season introduces a fresh lineup of hilarious supporting characters, including Jude Chukwuka, Jide Kosoko, Rotimi Salami, Francis Odega, Oluchi Amajuoyi, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Nobert Young, Jaiye Kuti, Shade Ayinke Ola (Iyalegba), Lalude, Shirley Igwe, Ijebuu, and more. These performers bring the story to life, making even the wildest scenarios feel authentic and fun.
As producer Wale Adenuga Jr. shared in an enthusiastic update, 'the feedback on our Gen Z Papi season has been really awesome, and since we ended the weekly broadcast in July 2025, we have been receiving multiple calls and messages for a rerun of Gen Z Papi. So while we are currently working hard and meticulously on a new exciting season of Papa Ajasco & Company, we would rerun all 37 episodes of Gen Z Papi season. All episodes still remain on our YouTube Channel ‘waptvchannel’ available to watch for free.' It's clear the show resonates deeply—perhaps because it touches on universal themes like family bonds and the pressures of success, but here's where it gets controversial: does portraying a 'Gen Z Papi' who navigates fame and rivalry reinforce stereotypes about young musicians, or does it cleverly critique the music industry's cutthroat side? Some might argue it's just light-hearted fun, while others see it as a subtle commentary on generational gaps and the cost of chasing dreams. What do you think—does this rerun deserve the hype, or is it time for TV to evolve beyond these familiar tropes? Share your thoughts in the comments below; we'd love to hear if you're team Gen Z Papi or if you have a counterpoint!
