The Polygamist
He chose betrayal, she chose revenge.
Created by Akin Omotoso
On Netflix
A melodramatic soap opera centered on marital betrayal and revenge, built on emotional intensity and family scandal rather than restraint.
Social media darling, Joyce, is the picture of marital perfection — until her cheating husband's conquests ignite a scandalous emotional meltdown.
