Celebrated Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi has cancelled the return of his controversial reality show ‘Wife Material Season 2’ that was set to happen today.
In a statement on Sunday night, Eric noted that he was forced to make the decision after one of the contestants went ‘rogue’.
He did not give specifics, only noting that the safety of the contestants is paramount, and after the incident, the show could not continue as planned.
He further noted that season 2 will not resume, adding that they are now working on season 3.
“Sadly, it seems #WifeMaterial2 was never meant to happen, but we can still say it happened in away, actually twice. The show was to begin tomorrow as has been heavily advertised but unfortunately that won't be so.

“The idea behind #WifeMaterial is to entertain but most importantly to ensure that the contestants are comfortable, safe and having the time of their lives while contesting. Unfortunately one of the contestants went completely and utterly "Rogue" and despite numerous attempts to control the situation the atmosphere in the house has not been conducive for the show to continue. We say farewell to Season two. Season 3 will start almost immediately,” he posted on Instagram.
This is the second hurdle the show has faced in the past few months. A few weeks ago, it was banned by the Kenya Film and Classification Board over claims of airing inappropriate content and violating broadcast regulations.
