When Kenyan TV series Monica premiered on Showmax in 2019, it became an instant hit among fans, who praised Brenda Wairimu’s unlikely “fish-out-of-water” role as a girl from the ghetto who cons her way to a better life. Four months later, Monica was nominated for Best TV Drama and Best Lead Actress in a TV Drama (for Brenda Wairimu) at the 2019 Kalasha Awards. Now the drama series, which was first released in 2018, is finally getting a third season which will premiere first on Showmax in early 2021. In addition to Brenda Wairimu, Monica also features other well-known stars like Ephy Saint (Tahidi High), Joyce Maina (Aisha), Fidel Maithya (Selina), Sam Komora (Aziza), Torome Sision (Kona) and Melvin Alusa (The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind). “Alongside Showmax’s Kenyan lineup of AMVCA-winning films like 18 Hours and The Flesh Business, Monica S3 reaffirms our commitment to the Kenyan film and television industry.
