The Polygamist

NOW A NETFLIX SERIES

Two's company...five is definitely a crowd!

The Polygamist lures you into the web of the intertwined lives of four women drawn to one man. Meet Jonasi Gomora, a seemingly indomitable wealthy banking magnate oozing with money, power, and sex appeal. Jonasi thinks he can have it all, but he underestimates just how much it will cost him!

Joyce is wife number one, living in the lap of luxury and convinced her marriage is perfect - until Matipa rears her coiffed head.

Matipa is the glamorous mistress every wife dreads. She is a driven, go-getter, and her goal is simple: to usurp Joyce's place.

Essie is Jonasi's best-kept secret, his second fiddle. She knew him before the money and notoriety and remains secure in the knowledge he'll always find his way back to her.

Lindani wants an upgrade - from girlfriend to wife. Meeting Jonasi feels like the answer to her prayers.

Four women. One man. A marriage multiplied. The Polygamist takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride through ambition, greed, jealousy and the explosive chaos of loving a man with an insatiable lust for the finer things in life.
