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.

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.

“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.
