On January 20th, Showmax will premiere a new Kenyan original drama series, Single-ish, adapted from the hit South African series Unmarried.
The series follows the lives of three women in Nairobi – Sintamei, Mariah, and Rebecca – as they navigate the challenges of marriage, relationships, and their careers. The strong bond of friendship between these women is also explored.
Starring Gathoni Mutua as Sintamei, Minne Kariuki as Mariah, and Faith Kibathi as Rebecca, the show also features Brian Abajah, Michael Munyoki, Lucarelli Onyango, Mburu Kimani, Lenana Kariba, Dora Nyaboke, and Jacky Kaboi.
Speaking about her role, Faith Kibathi said, “It’s an honour to get to play Rebecca as she explores motherhood and failures of her relationship. Single-ish is different because it’s very relatable and has a touch of the actual dating experiences in Nairobi. It also shows the beauty of reliable female friendship especially when things get bad.”
Produced by Insignia Productions, the studio behind popular shows Changing Times and New Beginnings, the show is co-directed by Philippe Bresson and Grace Kahaki alongside Robby Bresson.
