According to a Twitter announcement on Wednesday, February 5, the presenter will be hosting a reality show dubbed Next Super Star - a talent competition.
"The top three will star in a feature film that will premier in cinemas around the world. The show premiers on Monday, February 17 on Rembo TV," Teshna tweeted.
Nick Mutuma, a Kenyan actor and emcee, is among the producers of the show.
"We're proud to announce that our first TV production premiers on February 17. Thousands of Kenyans, young and old, auditioned in front of our judges for a chance to be the next superstar and star in a feature film," Mutuma also tweeted.
The judges in the show are award-winning Kenyan actor Raymond Ofula and actress Neomi Nganga. Ofula and Mutuma are famous for starring in Shuga, a television drama series that was first aired in November 2009 on MTV Base.

"For me, when it comes to accepting roles, it’s always about the challenge and also about the kind of message I’m selling out there. After being inactive in the film/TV industry for almost two years, I wanted to come back and do something that was more impactful," she intimated via a statement sent to Kenyans.co.ke.
