Showmax is renewing its successful original series – Single Kiasi for another season. Single Kiasi season one was one of the most-watched titles on Showmax for 13 weeks straight after it premiered in January this year.
The 13-part drama followed the lives of three Nairobi women –Sintamei(Gathoni Mutua), Mariah(Minne Kariuki ) and Rebecca(Faith Kibathi ) as they dealt with the challenges that marriage, relationships, and their careers throw at them.

Season Two picks up up a couple of months after the shocking events of the season one finale that threw uncertainty over the three women’s love lives who reprised their roles as leads Sintamei, Mariah and Rebecca.
Season Two will explore themes as varied as loyalty, forgiveness and self-acceptance. We expect exciting adventures, glamour and humorous encounters and scenarios that challenge the trio and test the limits of their strong bonds.
