Thursday night in Nairobi belonged to Kenyan television as the entertainment industry came together for what turned out to be one of the biggest premieres of the year.

Monaco Nairobi, opposite Village Market, hosted a packed crowd on October 2 for the launch of not one but two highly anticipated shows: Single Kiasi Season 4 on Showmax and Lazizi, Maisha Magic Plus’ brand new drama series.

The dress code? Green with touches of gold and silver. And guests delivered, turning the red carpet into a parade of style as actors, producers, media personalities and fans showed up ready to celebrate Kenyan storytelling.

Single Kiasi has become something of a phenomenon since it first dropped on Showmax. The show’s blend of drama, romance and relatable storylines has made it appointment viewing for thousands of Kenyans. Season 4 promises more of what fans love, plus some surprises that the cast was keeping tightly under wraps during the premiere.

Meanwhile, Lazizi made its grand entrance as Maisha Magic Plus’ latest original production. The new series is generating buzz as another example of Kenyan creators telling their own stories, their own way.

Beyond the glitz, what stood out most was the genuine excitement in the room. This wasn’t just a marketing event. It felt like a celebration of how far Kenyan television has come. Local productions are no longer the underdogs; they’re the shows people are actually talking about and binge watching.

Cast and crew members mingled with supporters throughout the night, soaking in the moment and the recognition for months of hard work. There were smiles, selfies, and plenty of behind the-scenes stories being shared.

Single Kiasi Season 4 is now streaming on Showmax, while Lazizi airs on Maisha Magic Plus.
