Popular South African series Shaka iLembe “will be back,” confirmed MultiChoice following the conclusion of season one of the critically acclaimed drama.
The first season of Shaka iLembe showcased the origin story of Shaka Zulu. Season two will pick up the story as he begins his long, prophesized reign, writing himself into history.
Speaking on the decision to renew the series, MultiChoice CEO General Entertainment Nomsa Philiso was appreciative of the support that the series has gained. “MultiChoice is really committed to telling the SHAKA ILEMBE story, and this season 2 announcement confirms our intentions to honour the iconic figure of King Shaka with a continuation of his story on air.”
She goes on to say, “The fact that viewers across South Africa, and indeed the continent, have been so passionately supportive of the show, tuning in to watch weekly, sharing their commentary online, and really engaging with this layered story of the Nguni Kingdoms, has been fantastic. We are now looking forward to bringing season 2 to life.”
The forthcoming season promises to unveil a new chapter of Shaka iLembe, with new characters and plotlines delivered with the same polish as the first season.
