Seburikoko is a Rwandan comedy television series created by Misago Nelly Wilson, that started production through Afrifame Ltd[1] and later continued its production under Zacu Entertainment Ltd. The series began airing on Rwanda Television (RTV) in March 2015.[2] The series consists of 31 seasons co-written by Mutiganda Janvier and Wilson. It was directed by Jones Kennedy Mazimpaka and many other directors with post production by Samples Studios.[3][4] It stars an ensemble cast consisting of Rwandan comedian Niyitegeka Gratien as title character Seburikoko,[5] Antoinette Uwamahoro as his wife, Siperansiya, as well as Erneste Kalisa, Ngabo Leo, and Muhutukazi Mediatrice.[6] Seburikoko became one of the most popular television programs on Rwanda Television. At the end of season 4 (in March 2016), the television series commissioned four more seasons, ending in March 2017.[7][8]

The series went on a one-year hiatus starting in 2023. In October 2024, it was announced that it will be resumed.[9]
