The effects of Showmax’s shutdown are being felt across Kenya’s film and TV industry.
By June alone, the streamer had released:
• 5 titles (2023)
• 5 titles (2024)
• 4 titles (2025)
Between 2021 and 2025, Showmax released 30 Originals in Kenya - a slate that included the police procedural Crime & Justice, later exported to Nigeria, Kenya’s first sci-fi series Subterranea, and Showmax’s first 2D animation Twende.
Together, the 30 Originals represent one of the biggest investments in local content by any platform in five years.

Dealies, a new adult animated series from the producers of Common Side Effects and Scavenger's Reign, is coming soon to Netflix.
The staff at big box store DEALIES are masters of the delicate alchemy of trade, prophets of enterprise...and occasionally they do some actual work. Created by Joe Bennett and Ted Travelstead.
When the full game is out I want to see a hypercut video where every time Kratos & Atreus mourn for Laufey it then says "meanwhile" and cuts to her air juggling 5 demons to heavy metal music.
'Andor' creator Tony Gilroy's Peabody Awards Acceptance Speech:
“We spent six years contemplating a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about what happens to ordinary beings when an authoritarian, insane, unchecked regime comes into the deal, and the show is really kind of what we learned"
“If you’re not willing to fight for the things that you love, your family, community, your culture, your planet, your truth, freedom, there’s an asshole ready to come in and take it away. We learned that bravery and sacrifice and resistance comes in all shapes and sizes, and we learned that courage is contagious"
“There’s so much is happening, it’s a fire hose of crap that you just can’t get through. And here we are. There isn’t a new cycle that goes by right now that doesn’t contain a variety of outrages that in any other time in our history in America wouldn’t be grounds for treason"
“Please do not stop. Please do not turn out the lights until we can kill this nightmare… and fuck the Empire!”
