Adam to Eve
Adam to Eve is a dramedy starring Blessing Lung'aho (Untying Kantai) as a charming Nairobi playboy who lives life in the fast lane, treating women as disposable pleasure items without realizing the impact of his actions. But when a mysterious curse transforms him into Eve (Ellah Maina), he must confront his own misogyny and navigate the world as a woman. To reclaim his former life, Adam must team up with his introverted twin brother, embarking on a comical and transformative journey of good deeds, redemption, and self-discovery.
The show also includes an ensemble cast featuring Kalasha winner and Celestine Gachuhi (Selina), Kalasha nominee Kieran Ratanya (Varshita), Mathew Ngugi (Big Girl Small World), Gashiki Gashiki (Haki Mwitu), Mucheru Kamau (Njoro wa Uba), Kevin Ogutu (Jela 5 Star), Winnie Anyango (Real Housewives of Kawangware), Marya Okoth (Nurse Toto), Robert Agengo (Qware), and Chris Kamau (Country Queen).
Helmed by the award-winning creative power couple Lizz Njagah and Alex Konstantaras behind House of Lungula, this gender swap comedy combines heartfelt storytelling with humor and social commentary. Alex serves as the series’ head writer supported by Yafesi Musioke, Serah Mwihaki (Single Kiasi), Kalasha winner Rose Njoroge (who also stars in the series), Lily Wanjiku (Sue na Johnnie), Tony Koros (Tithes and Offerings) and George Salt. UK-based filmmaker Aggie Nyagari (Janjaruka) directs the show alongside Alex.
