On Young, Famous & African, now streaming on Netflix, a group of affluent twenty-somethings all come together in Johannesburg in pursuit of their best lives.

Much like Bling Empire showcased the lifestyles of the rich and stylish stateside, Young, Famous & African treats us to a look at how the affluent young people of Johannesburg live their lives (and spend their money). Africa has long been depicted in stereotypical images overseas, but Young, Famous & African seeks to undo this, instead presenting us with a community vibrant and thriving, full of the dazzling, beautiful rich people and the addictive reality drama that makes these kinds of series so popular. Young, Famous & African is sexy and silly and soapy, which are all the ingredients you really need to create an effective, entertaining reality show. Our Take: The world of Young, Famous & African is a glitzy, glamorous one, easy to get sucked into from its opening sequence. The women are powerhouses, owning their labels and refusing to get walked all over by the men in their lives. We soon meet the cast, including actress Khanyi Mbau, who talks about how she earned the name “gold digger”, stylist Jeremiah Ogbodo (AKA Swanky Jerry), “Naked DJ” Quinton Masina, rapper Nadia Nakai, actress and model Annie Macauley-Idibia, TV personality Adile Ncube, Zari the Boss Lady (real name Zari Hassan), and musician Innocent Idibia (AKA 2Baba). Each of these people struggle with their identities and personal drama, including very public cheating scandals and unlikely friendships. They ride in luxury cars, pop expensive champagne, and wear the finest clothes.
