Showmax has released the trailer for A Familiar Christmas, Kenya’s first-ever Christmas feature.

‘A Familiar Christmas’ follows the Moran family as they reunite to spend a Christmas holiday together for the first time in three years. Their plans for a loving holiday are disrupted when secrets and a meddling mother wreak havoc in the household.

Written by Natasha Likimani (Sincerely Daisy, Disconnect), A Familiar Christmas is directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Reuben Odanga (Selina), making this his second feature film after the history-making Nafsi, which became the first Kenyan film to achieve an 8-week consecutive theatrical run.

Pascal Tokodi, popularly known for his role in the Swahili telenovela Selina and Disconnect, plays Melita, the casanova of the family who falls in love rather too quickly. He’s also a bit of a rebel who doesn’t mind causing a little tension at a family gathering.

In her first-ever acting role, Elani band member Maureen Kunga plays Noni, Melita’s uptight sister, who comes home with more problems than the family anticipated.

Keith Chuaga (Igiza, Famous) plays Allan, Noni’s husband, who’s loved by the family but not so much by Noni because of his past mistakes.

Zora actress Alice Mbeyu plays the family matriarch Tabitha, a woman with a know-it-all and mother-knows-best attitude that sometimes rubs her two children Melita and Noni the wrong way.

Tina Turner has died at the age of 83.

The music icon passed away peacefully at her home in Switzerland on Wednesday (24.05.23) after battling “a long illness”.

Her spokesperson said in a statement: “Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.

“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”

Turner – whose hit songs included ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ – battled a number of health problems in recent years, including cancer, kidney failure and a stroke.

The singer – who had a distinctive, husky voice – ultimately became one of the biggest stars of the 80s and 90s.
