M-Net’s first-ever local telenovela, Legacy, has officially been renewed for a second season, set to premiere in mid-September 2021. The show’s executive producers, Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon, expressed their gratitude, stating, “The manner in which viewers embraced Legacy as M-Net’s first telenovela made this whole experience wonderful, and we are indebted to our viewers who have gone on this rollercoaster ride with us.”
Legacy made history by winning six South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs) in its debut season, including the coveted Best Telenovela award. Fans can expect the upcoming season to be even more thrilling, as new characters and intricate plots unfold.
What’s new in season 2?
The second season promises dramatic twists:
• A new family is introduced
• Enemies become allies
• Secrets from the past are resurfaced because nothing can be hidden forever.
“As we move towards season 2, we can promise viewers a rebirth of the series and a big expansion of the story universe which will allow us to tell more compelling and addictive drama,” Phathu and Gwydion conclude.
The second season also brings an order of talent behind the scenes. Krijay Govender moves into a series producer role, the vibrant directing team welcomes Zimkhitha Maseko and Christo Davids and the talented Thami Magqoki joins as the director of photography.
