The first-ever documentary about Big Brother Naija is set to drop in November.
Titled BBNaija: The Fame, the Fans, the Frenzy, the mini-documentary is produced by ID Africa’s The Bang Studio, and will premiere on Africa Magic.
A statement by Njideka Akabogu, Lead Public Relations Officer to the organisers of Big Brother Naija, said the documentary will take viewers behind the scenes and reveal some truths about the show.
According to her, the documentary will feature some of the most popular housemates the show had ever created including: Mercy Eke, Laycon, Nengi, Prince, Alex Asogwa, Bisola Aiyeola, Elozonam, and Ozo.
“Also making an appearance in the documentary is the show’s infamous series producer, Kayode, who answers some of the most difficult questions that fans have asked over the years about the show and camera times for the housemates who have passed through the show.
“BBN: The Fame, the Fans, the Frenzy tells the untold story of the show and examines its impact through the eyes of relevant stakeholders, with appearances from the host, crew and organisers of the show which has grown to become the biggest Big Brother franchise in the world,” she said.
Femi Falodun, Chief Executive Officer of ID Africa, explained that the show is an African pop-culture phenomenon, so it is necessary to tell its story.
“At ID Africa, we love to tell untold stories and what better story to tell than that of the biggest big brother instalment in the history of the franchise.
“In the recently-concluded season alone, the show recorded over a billion votes from millions of viewers, it was also watched in over 30 countries across the globe.
“I am thrilled that we get to share the backstory of how this show is made and how much it changes the lives of the participants,” he said.
