"Season 2 brings us back to the moment Shaka, played by Lemogang Tsipa, returns to the Zulu to claim his rightful place as king, only to step into a snake pit of danger. Hidden between the smiling faces are rivals plotting his death. He has to turn his people around to support him.

"Season 2 dives into his spiritual journey to become King. The journey is accompanied by his dreams, visions, and sacrifices, including the bold decision not to marry. We explore the mind and soul of a man driven by destiny but haunted by loss," they said.
