Roomies is a South African comedy-drama television series which explores the interpersonal relationships of five millennials trying to navigate adulthood.
From being ghosted, consent, sibling relationships, parental hang-ups, partying, making money and being cool, these are all on their minds as they strive to achieve happiness on a day-to-day basis.
Roomies showcases the underlying humour that comes with trying to achieve some of the so-called realistic and unrealistic milestones of life such as marriage, being healthy, making lifelong friends, and achieving a fulfilling career.
The series will also shine a spotlight on the question that has plagued society for centuries: can men and women be friends and if so, what does that look like?
How does Naledi (Felicia Mlangeni), a young chef with her life planned out, handle a crossroads in love and career?
During her interview as a sous chef at one of Joburg's top restaurants, she learns that her long-term boyfriend is not just visiting home, but has married his high school sweetheart and is forcing her out of the flat they shared.
As a result, she fails her interview and a broke Naledi seeks the comfort of her bestie Tsholo (Nomalanga Shozi).
The pair move into a loft with three guy friends who have their lives about as well figured out as Naledi and Tsholo do.
What could possibly go wrong?
