Joining the Kenyan list of shows to watch is Lulu, a new telenovela set against the backdrop of a powerful family empire hiding dark secrets, produced by media personality Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan’s production company.
At the centre of the story is Amara Tindo (Angie Magio), a commanding matriarch blindsided by her husband Hudson’s (Nick Odhiambo) plan to leave her for their maid, Anita (Nungari Kiore).
The betrayal creates a chain reaction, forcing Amara into a power struggle she never anticipated.
As she takes control of the family’s fortune, unaware it’s tied to an illegal drug business, Amara must face treachery from all sides, including within her own family.
The drama explores the cost of power and the dangerous line between justice and revenge.
The ensemble cast features familiar faces such as Brian Ogana, Ronald Ndubi, Ciku Muchiri, poet and performer Mufasa, Mwamburi Maole, and Kalasha Award winners George Mo and Lydia Gitachu.
Executive Producer of the show Rashid Abdalla described the show as “a bold and gripping tale” that reflects “the complexities of ambition and family.”
“Lulu is a bold and gripping tale that explores the lengths people go to for power, love, and survival. We wanted to create a story that captivates audiences with its intensity while reflecting the complexities of ambition and family dynamics,” he said.
Lulu has taken over the time slot previously held by Zari, which aired its final episode on Monday.
