A new 13-episode sitcom, 'Tiara & Boma', created by ContentGram Studios Africa, is set to premiere on Wazobia Max on October 12, 2026, at 8:30 PM. The show features Obadafe Blessed as Tiara, an ambitious content creator, and John Samuel Odinaka as Boma, a food-obsessed and unapologetic character. The series is a spin-off from the 'Squatterz' universe and explores themes of ambition, social media drama, and everyday chaos in Lagos.
Tiara, played by Obadafe Blessed, is determined to rebuild her fading online relevance and create a perfect soft-life image. She wants beautiful pictures, strong engagement, brand deals, and a lifestyle that appears to be going according to plan. In contrast, Boma, played by John Samuel Odinaka, has an unpredictable and unapologetic persona, with little interest in appearances and an unusual ability to turn ordinary situations into problems.
The series' creator, Seun Arowojolu, says the contrasting personalities of Tiara and Boma provide the foundation for the show's comedy. According to Arowojolu, "Tiara and Boma see life completely differently. Tiara wants to control how the world sees her. Boma is simply Boma. Putting those two people together gives you endless possibilities for comedy."
The show also introduces new characters and relationships around Tiara and Boma, adding complications as their growing visibility affects those around them. Arowojolu notes that 'Tiara & Boma' explores aspiration, survival, online relevance, and the contrast between social media image and reality, while maintaining comedy and character-driven storytelling.
The spin-off gives existing 'Squatterz' viewers an opportunity to see more of two distinctive personalities, while remaining accessible to new audiences who may be encountering the characters for the first time. Arowojolu added that the series promises plenty of unexpected situations as the unlikely duo attempts to turn their differences into something that works.
The show's premise revolves around the clash between Tiara's desire for control and Boma's unpredictable nature. This contrast leads to comedic situations and explores the challenges of surviving in Lagos. The series is written by Seun Arowojolu and produced by ContentGram Studios Africa.
'Tiara & Boma' is set to premiere on October 12, 2026, on Wazobia Max, offering a fresh take on the 'Squatterz' universe. With its unique blend of comedy and character-driven storytelling, the show is expected to entertain audiences and provide a new perspective on life in Lagos.
