“We are very honoured by the love Single Kiasi has received so far, and for all the award nominations,” says director Philippe Bresson.
“It means that we are doing something right for our audience, and that they watch these three women’s lives on screen and are able to connect with them. We can’t wait to show them what’s next.”

“Season 3 is going to be our best one yet. The fans can expect a sexier, fast paced, and exciting new season,” says co-director Grace Kahaki.
“We challenged ourselves and the cast to tackle deeper and more challenging issues while still maintaining the heart of the show. This season we are throwing our girls into the deep end, and it’s either they swim or drown.”
