Netflix: ‘Kings of Jo’burg’ To Return For New Season

What happens when the brutal and unforgiving terrain that is the criminal underworld gets a full blend with the unique, hard-to-explain forces that back the supernatural? You get an amazing thriller-packed series of talented acting. Netflix has released the official teaser for the second season of ‘Kings of Jo’burg’ ahead of its release set for January 27, 2023.

The new trailer paints the new season as one wherein there is very little chance for error, something big is coming and time is running out for the Masire brothers. The trailer with a somber, menacing tone in the background as a pair of men in the dead of night, shovels in hand, are filling in what seems to be a grave in the middle of nowhere.

Following the unexpected death of the creator Shona Ferguson, the Masire family does their best to pick up the pieces without Simon ‘Vader’ Masire (played by the late creator).

Missing their late family member, they try to adapt to a new king while dealing with a supernatural curse, betrayal, and enemies.

On what to expect from the new season, a press statement reads, “The sequel sees the executive producer & showrunner Samad Davis and executive producer Connie Ferguson teaming up again in what they both described as a tribute to the late great Shona.”

Connie Ferguson, Zolisa Xaluva, Thembi Seete, Cindy Makhlangu, Nnekwa Tsajwa, Buhle Samuels, Thapelo Mokoena, TK Sebothoma and Altovise Lawrence reprise their roles with Lunati Mampofu and Sello Maake ka-Ncube as the new additions to the season. The show was created by Shona Ferguson who passed away on July 30, 2021.
