From the creators of the hit show Single Kiasi comes a gripping new crime drama, The Chocolate Empire.
Set against the backdrop of Nairobi’s elite circles, Chocolate Empire follows JB Mauzo, played by the multitalented Jimmy Gathu (Kina), a once-powerful businessman freshly released from prison. As JB works to rebuild his life and mend his fractured family, he secretly operates a high-end escort service from his exclusive cigar club.

A young woman from a struggling family, she takes a job at JB’s club to help her mother make ends meet, unaware of the illegal operations that are taking place.
