Winner of two SAFTAs for both Best Wardrobe and Best Make-up and Hairstyling in a TV Comedy, Roomies follows housemates Naledi, Tsholo, Ntsika, Abza and Them, five millennials trying to navigate adulthood and the challenges that come with it. Just friends, no benefits! 20-somethings Naledi Modise (Felix Mlangeni), Nsika Nxele (Unathi Mkhize) Abza Mdoda (Mbasa Msongelo), and Tsholo Nkoli (Nomalanga Shozi) move in together, map out their futures, and take their first shaky steps in the adult world of responsibilities. One step forward, two steps back. With such wildly different personalities, the tension between men and women, and Abza’s bestie Themba Zawane (Ishmauel Songo) always hanging around, can they make it work? Also look out for SAFTA winner Zola Nombona, Siphiwe Mtshali and Zama Ngcobo Roomies is created by Sihle Mthembu who also heads up the writing team and co-directs. Binge Roomies S1 on Showmax now.
