Citizen TV is the most popular TV station in Kenya, and for a reason. The media house is popular for its captivating shows that are curated to impress all age groups.
In 2020, Maria TV show had every Kenyan glued to their TVs every day it aired and for those that missed it, well, there is Viusasa. There are also online reviewers and some short video previews on YouTube.
Maria TV showed aired a total of 374 episodes in just one season. It’s final episode left fans expecting a Season 2, but Lulu has affirmed that their wouldn’t be any.
Most of the cast members from Maria were replicated in Zora, the show that succeeded it. Again Citizen TV did not disappoint, or is it Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdalla? Or just their company Jiffy Pictures? Credit goes to everyone involved in the casting, production, and broadcasting.
After the final episode of Zora aired last week, Kenyan TV lovers are interested in the new blockbuster in town: Sultana.
Sultana plot
Sultana tells a story of a young blind lady that was ‘erroneously’ pronounced dead after her birth. She was born into a rich family, where the man was obsessed over getting a male heir to their vast wealth. On her birth day, another baby body was born elsewhere.
The midwife involved in both births took to the little baby girl to her village and helped raise her.
She has to overcome all odds in her life after facing life challenges, such as stigma, rejection, poverty, unwanted pregnancy, and more. Against all odds, she has to be happy.
Below are some of the actors cast in different roles in Sultana.
We have just watched a few episodes of the latest Citizen TV show and have already fallen in love in what seems to be the most watched TV show in Kenya’s TVs. We hope it will keep us glued on TV for as long as Zora and Maria did.
