Get ready to be drawn into the scandalous world of Second Family, with the latest telenovela to hit the screens in Kenya.
This intriguing Showmax Original is the first telenovela production in Kenya which follows the life of a small-town girl whose picture-perfect life is shattered when she uncovers a shocking truth - that she's actually part of her father's second family, a secret that he had kept hidden for years.
With new episodes streaming every Wednesday to Friday, viewers will be glued to their screens as the plot thickens and the drama unfolds.
The first episode introduces us to the complicated world of Leo Lang’at, played by Ian Mbugua(Single Kiasi), a billionaire whose secrets catch up with him after his untimely death, pitting his two families against one another in a battle for wealth, power and revenge.
On one side of the conflict is the wealthy and well-established Gatehi family, led by the matriarch Evangeline. Played by Dora Nyaboke(Single Kiasi, Crime and Justice), this character is measured, calculating, and classy, but ruthless when crossed. This is Nyaboke's first-ever lead role, and she does not disappoint.
On the other side of the battlefield are the Lang’ats, Leo's second family. Tucked away in their humble Uasin Gishu home, they are led by the young and determined Sinde, played by newcomer Vanessa Okeyo.
After discovering her father's secrets, Sinde sets out to challenge Evangeline for control of Leo's empire, and the ensuing power struggle is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
