In Pictures, Umkhokha has been renewed for its second season; Showmax to stream the series.

Umkhokha is one of Mzansi’s favourite drama series because of its uniqueness. When the drama series premiered, people were a bit sceptical about how it would be. However, the first episode of the show got raving reviews from people, and so did every episode. After the first season ended, viewers were left on a cliffhanger, wondering when the second season would be aired.

In February, it was heard through the grapevine that the series would be turned into a Telenovela.
