Life With Kelly Khumalo S1-3

Made in South Africa

"Y'all gon know about me." That's the promise in Season 3 of Kelly Khumalo's reality show, now streaming exclusively on Showmax.

Her vocal highness Kelly Khumalo lets audiences into her life, with Life With Kelly Khumalo, a Showmax Original.

All episodes of explosive Season 3 are now streaming. Also binge Seasons 1-2, all exclusive to Showmax.

A household name by 21, with nearly 2.5m followers on Instagram alone, Kelly has been named Best Female Artist at the South African Music Awards, sold millions of albums, and opened for Grammy winner Missy Elliott. Life With Kelly Khumalo won the 2021 SAFTA for Best Soap Structured Reality TV Show.

Season 3 picks up in April 2022 with #KellyKhumalo trending on Twitter again, with the release of a true-crime documentary series about the death of Senzo Meyiwa and his trial about to start. As Kelly says in the trailer, “They hate the fact that I am the one who did not die that day.”

Despite the conspiracy theories, she's at the pinnacle of her career, with a SAMA-nominated Gold album.

But there’s more to her story than her history. Life With Kelly Khumalo is an intimate glimpse at the woman behind the headlines.
