Also returning are Michael Munyoki, Brian Abajah, Kevin Maina, Walter Bruce Opiyo, Derek Bbanga and Maggie Kiundi.
The first teaser trailer for Season 2 dropped in January 2023.[41] New cast members were confirmed to join the season. This included Grace Wacuka as Olivia, a new female lead and Sintamei's wealthy friend who might just be the answer to her problems; Fidel Maithya, Quincy Rapando, Ian Mbugua, Mufasa Kibet aka Mufasa Poet, and Ciku Shire.[42]

Release
Showmax released season 1 on January 20, 2022 with subsequent episodes dropping every Monday.[44] Season 2 and 3 debuted on the streamer on January 16, 2023 and March 5, 2024 respectively.
Critical Reception
Season 2 received positive to mixed reactions. In a positive review for Season 2, Hapa Kenya's Faith Wambui said ''Single Kiasi has done a great job in capturing the day-to-day lives of different kinds of girls you will meet in Nairobi. There's the boss babe with a struggling love life, the loyal wifey who gets cheated on and the wanna-be socialite living a fake life. It's an interesting series with a captivating storyline that appeals to both women and men.''[45]
Sinema Focus' Kelvin Kariuki added: "Single Kiasi is good enough to have on a cosy weekend binge that will have you smiling and enjoying good filmmaking, maybe more than once. But I doubt it will punch differently on different rewatches. That's what makes shows like Sex and the City or Insecure so iconic: you rewatch them at a different age and feel like you are watching them again from a newer perspective because you grow with the characters, not the familiar things that happen in their lives.''[46]
Season 3 received mixed reactions. Sinema Focus' Kelvin Kariuki in his mixed review for Season 3 said, ''Despite a shaky start, uneven pacing and repetitive storytelling, this season finally ventures into bold and uncharted territory as it reaches its conclusion.''[47]
