How to Find a Husband is a Kenyan comedy-drama television series that made its debut on 3 March 2015. It stars Lizz Njagah, Sarah Hassan and Mumbi Maina. The story mainly features romance as its primary theme.

Contents

Sally Grey, a 37-year-old TV presenter tries to find her future husband on different dates and sets out to find her Mr. Right in 10 weeks.

Premise

Abigail, Carol and Jackie are three middle-class Kenyan women traversing the entrepreneurial and social scenes of Nairobi. Abigail (Lizz Njagah) is an assertive woman who owns her own business but is susceptible to insecurities from her tumultuous past, involving heartache and a search for the right man. Her cousin Jackie (Mumbi Maina) is a more liberal and experimental woman enjoying the attention of her middle-aged years and less wary of what the future holds. Carol (Sarah Hassan), on the other hand, may come across as slightly dimwitted, but it’s evident that it's a façade, enabling her to easily manipulate her way into getting what she wants. [2]
