Pearl Thusi says contract renewal for Queen Sono is unlikely

In late 2022, Pearl shared her honest opinion about Netflix cancelling Queen Sono.

The show was canned due to production issues caused by covid-19, leaving many fans and Pearl devastated.

Despite the cancellation, the crime drama's Season 1 received positive feedback from first-time viewers, which frustrated Pearl. The actress tweeted about how sad she is that the story that has everyone glued to their screens will not be continuing.

"It’s wild that I’ve never seen all this amazing feedback on #QueenSono from all over the world. I’ve made peace with it not being renewed but reading this also made me quite sad. But I’m so happy we entertained so many people worldwide."
