Award-winning Ghanaian Tv Series, X.O.X.O., Renewed For Its Final Season – [SEE DETAILS]

 Proudly produced by Finesse-LXG, RTP 2013 best television series award winner – X.O.X.O., (title inspired by a youth digital slang for hugs and kisses) an urban-centred programme that stands out for its compelling themes and scenes as well as an array of beautiful young ladies is returning for its lockdown edition and 4th anticipated issue on June 4, according to Writer and Producer, Edward Seddoh Jnr.

But the rules have now changed, as XOXO seeks to go digital, as opposed to mainstream TV broadcasts. Hence the 13-week episode path, under theme “Network Lockdown”, would not be on the agenda for now. Rather, a more flexible digital channel broadcast accessible on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube and as well on pay-per-view platforms such as it’s resident channel on the MTN Shortz platform, would be the way to go now.

Timelines between episodes would be more flexible now in order to embrace not only the new normal in the wake of the current global situation, but also to allow for interactive contributions from the fans into the storylines. Just as it was from the very beginning when the fans had to text ‘X’ or ‘O’ for the episodic outcome, future episodes of Season 4 would take that route, apparently, even making room for fan and celebrity cameo casting over time.

The season premiere storyline takes the form of the world in lockdown and how members of the defunct Network group (Josh, Akua, Roy, Nana Yaa and co) have had to wake up from their quarantine slumber to respond to a call about the deal of a lifetime coming all the way from Ukraine, where their longtime friend and member of the group, Parker, is now based. As with XOXO, there are more exciting surprises to come after this, and hopefully, sponsorship would not be far off.

“Though, it hasn’t been all rosy behind the scenes in terms of raising sponsorship for the series. Indeed we had expected to finish the series at Season 4 in grand style. Alas, it was not to be, with one delay after another in sponsorship promises. We didn’t just want to end the series the usual way. We wanted it to be special; something that would be memorable for years. In December of 2016, the crew and cast had returned to set for the much awaited Season 4, only for the intended sponsor to make a U-turn, in the wake of a business emergency. Product placements from the sponsor was already part of the plan. Shooting had to be suspended. – The writer/producer stated

In its third season since its inception about a year ago, the plot is untypically unpredictable and often inspired by feedback from viewers in the form of text messages on which direction they want the story to go, depending on dilemma questions asked at the end of each episode where viewers get to text X or O to MTN shortcode 1756.

Currently, the story mostly revolves around the central character, Josh (Harold Amenyah), the ladies’ man whose personal life is beginning to take a toll on his working life and is on the verge of losing everything, thanks to a plan hatched by two aggrieved guys working in the shadows, both of whom not only consider Josh a threat to their own personal relationships, past and present, but would also publicly label him as one of Accra’s Baddest Boys in an online publication.
