Maisha Magic Plus has announced the upcoming premiere of Qware, a suspense-filled drama-thriller set to debut on July 20, 2025, at 7:30 PM.
The series will air exclusively on Maisha Magic Plus (DStv Channel 163 / GOtv Channel 3), with new episodes every Sunday.
At the heart of Qware is Leila Simba, played by Vanessa Okeyo (Second Family), a young woman whose world is turned upside down after she is wrongfully accused of murdering her father, a powerful corporate mogul.
Thrust from a life of innocence into a ruthless family power struggle, Leila must fight to clear her name and protect her family's legacy.
Standing in her way is her manipulative and power-hungry uncle, portrayed by Reinhard Inzai Bonke, who will stop at nothing to take control.
The series boasts a strong ensemble cast that includes Elle Ciru (Black & Blue), Silayio Neema (Untying Kantai), Damaris Ketrai (Salem), Bernard Oduor (The Constant Gardener), Alex Khayo (Nafsi), Robert Agengo (40 Sticks), Martin Kigondu (Selina), Moses Kiema (Kina), and Amani Mwasera (Prefects).
Produced by Naota Media, Qware is created by Edwin Mulima, known for hit shows like Muheshimiwa and Joni. Direction is led by Ashford Kirimi and Davis Nato (Selina), while Jazzmine Maina (The Chocolate Empire) heads the writing team. The scriptwriting unit also includes Kevin Mbayagi (Shanga), Cherotich Kibet (Salem), and Marcus Douglas (The Hot Seat).
Speaking about the inspiration behind Qware, producer Edwin Mulima shared:
“Qware grew out of years of watching the power struggles and hidden wars within Kenya’s wealthiest households. I have witnessed family empires shaken by death, greed, and betrayal — and I wanted to dramatize that on screen. It is about more than money: it is about what happens when blood ties become battle lines.”
Mulima adds:
“Viewers will feel the injustice, corruption, and struggle to rise above it. They will root for Leila, betrayed by her own family, fighting to reclaim her life and legacy. My wish is for audiences to enjoy an intelligent, layered drama that keeps them hooked.”
To coincide with the premiere, DStv and GOtv are running their “We’ve Got You” promotion until July 31, 2025. Customers who upgrade their subscription packages will receive an automatic boost to the next level.
