Role Reversal

ABC & StarSat Original Series

When an enigmatic South African artifact triggers a body swap between a charismatic musical superstar and his powerhouse President sister, they must master each other’s wildly contrasting lives—balancing stadium tours, state secrets, and family drama—without letting the world catch on. Kwame Nkosi, 31, is South Africa’s hottest musical export: a globe-trotting megastar known for his irresistible charisma, chart-topping hits, and a revolving door of beautiful models and actresses on his arm. His older sister, Ayanda Nkosi, is 39 and the dynamic President of South Africa. She juggles international diplomacy, national crises, and her loving family—her supportive husband and two spirited children—with grace and grit. When a mysterious relic from their late grandmother’s collection causes them to switch bodies, Kwame must rule the Rainbow Nation, attend cabinet meetings, and handle the First Family—while Ayanda is thrust into the dazzling, unpredictable world of global stardom, celebrity relationships, and sold-out concerts. Both must keep up the act, navigate each other’s friends and foes, and search for a way to reverse the swap before their lives unravel.
