The actress who is prone to dragging people’s parents in her clap backs is being dragged left right and centre. A fan even went as far as “dumping” her because of her controversial ways. a Netflix spokesperson confirmed that the drama series which stars Pearl Thusi as the lead actress will not be renewed for a second season:
“We’ve made the difficult decision not to move forward with season 2 of Queen Sono. We are incredibly proud of the Diprente team for sharing their audacious vision and bringing it to life with Netlflix. A huge thank you to our fans across the world for the love shared for our first African Original series. Netflix is also grateful to the amazing efforts shown by the cast and crew for their stellar efforts in creating this show for our members around the world. We’ll continue to work closely with South Africa’s creative industry to keep producing more compelling ‘Made-in-South Africa’ stories.” said a Netflix Spokesperson.
The director of the series Kagiso says they had written a great storyline but it was difficult to bring it to life. “We wrote a beautiful story that spanned the continent but unfortunately could not be executed in these current trying times,” said Kagiso Lediga, Director (Diprente).
The series starred Mama Panther, Vuyo Dabula, Loyiso Madinga and Abigail Kubeka, the show received impressive reviews from Mzansi and the international scene. Now that it has dawned upon many of her fans that there really is no Queen Sono season 2, they have taken the necessary steps to change Netflix’s mind.
