Blessing Lungaho, Celestine Gachuhi & Marya Okoth star in gender swap dramedy Adam to Eve
Adam to Eve is a hilarious gender swap dramedy starring Blessing Lungaho (Untying Kantai) as Adam, 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, 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 winners Ellah Maina (Sincerely Daisy) 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 (A 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 dramedy 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.

Show producers Alex Konstantaras and Lizz Njagah
“At its heart, Adam to Eve is a story about walking in someone else’s shoes quite literally,” says Executive Producer, Lizz Njagah. “It uses humor to spark reflection on how we perceive gender and privilege, while reminding us that change often begins with understanding.”
“With Adam to Eve, we wanted to blend fantasy and comedy with socially resonant themes. The series is unapologetically funny, deeply Kenyan, and reflective of the vibrant, evolving conversations happening across Africa about identity and equality.” adds Alex.
