Showmax is bringing a fresh twist to local storytelling with its upcoming original dramedy, Adam to Eve, premiering on November 26, 2025.
The series stars Blessing Lungaho (Untying Kantai) as Adam, a confident Nairobi playboy whose world turns upside down after a mysterious curse transforms him into a woman.
Produced by Historia Films, Adam to Eve follows Adam’s hilarious yet heartfelt journey as he’s forced to experience life from the other side. Once a man who saw women as fleeting pleasures, Adam — now Eve — must confront his own biases, find empathy, and rediscover himself in ways he never imagined.
Teaming up with his quiet twin brother, he embarks on a wild path toward redemption, filled with laughter, lessons, and unexpected transformation.
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 (MTV Shuga Mashariki), Gashiki Gashiki (Haki Mwitu), Mucheru Kamau (Njoro wa Uba), Kevin Ogutu (Jela 5 Star), Winnie Anyango (Real Housewives of Kawangware), Marya Okoth (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), 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.
“At its heart, Adam to Eve is a story about walking in someone else’s shoes quite literally,” said 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,” added Alex.
