Apartment 22
Apartment 22 is a Ghanaian comedy series from Akwaaba Magic. It follows Samad Bayou (Harry Bentil), who shares a two-bedroom apartment with three women who are constantly fighting each other for space and territory.
When Ansaba (Nancy Maurice) and Naki (Sitsofe Tsikor, Aloevera) move back into the apartment they share with Samad, they don’t expect to find new faces, and especially not the cocky, beautiful Deja (Jessica Williams, Living with Trisha) who just happens to be a celebrity stylist. With Samad taking the master bedroom, the three ladies are left to share a room and sleep in one bed.
While Samad watches from the sidelines, refusing to be dragged into this petty rivalry, Ansaba and Naki scheme on ways to teach Deja a lesson and push her out of the apartment.
But of course, Deja isn’t as unsuspecting as they think she is – always turning their schemes against them.
With all this trouble, they still have to deal with a much bigger enemy – Sir Lord (Andy Banks), their money-hungry landlord who just happens to live right above them. Tagging along is the landlord’s invasive girlfriend (Ellain Attoh, House of Umoja) who treats their kitchen (and everything in it) as her own.
Apartment 22 also stars Sandra Sei, Frympy Bright, and Jasmine Amo, with popular comedian and award-winning actor Bismark The Joke as Samad’s friend and regular face around the house.
