Igiza

Made in Kenya

Sibling rivalry and sweet revenge in Igiza, the new Showmax Original thriller set in Kenya. All 13 episodes now streaming.

Set against the backdrop of Nairobi’s fashion industry and the money laundering business, Igiza is a story of revenge between twin sisters Linda and Nicole.

Serah Ndanu plays the dual role of the twin sisters – the inmate Nicole and Linda, a top fashion designer who runs a successful fashion house. Both their lives are about to change when Nicole sets her revenge plan into motion.

Igiza is helmed by Abdi Shuria (known for his works as a cinematographer for 2021’s hit Nafsi and upcoming feature Ayaanle), King Muriuki (The XYZ Show) and Abu Melita under their company Yare Productions.

Igiza is the next Showmax Original in Kenya after the recently concluded second season of the police procedural and legal drama Crime and Justice.

All 13 episodes are now streaming exclusively on Showmax.

The Standard
Igiza review
The dual role of twins Linda and Nicole, acted by the beautiful Sereh Teshna, is played to perfection. The cast is one of this show's strong points.
