Why was Yizo Yizo cancelled?
Yizo Yizo's plot, according to ZAlebs, was retelling the fictional lives of teenagers who attended Sowetan high school Supetsela High and their struggles.
The series was marketed as educational to combat social issues such as drug abuse, teen pregnancy, student-teacher relationships, and gangsterism.
Seasons one and two of the show were so popular that they were aired back-to-back. The third season was released in 2004.
Despite its popularity, Yizo Yizo was cancelled after the third season. ZAlebs added that the reasons were speculated to be that it was no longer educational, and some people blamed the introduction of a homosexual character.
Blood & Water renewed for Season 4, Netflix viewers extremely unimpressed: "It's really not necessary"
In similar news, Briefly News reported that Netflix reportedly plans to bring Blood & Water for a fourth season, but not everyone was pleased with the streaming platform's decision.
Season 3 of the show ended with people having had enough of the plot and editing. The cast was also the centre of attention, which was not good because many criticised their acting abilities.
Phil Mphela, an entertainment commentator, took to Twitter to announce Netflix's plans to renew Blood & Water. Phil couldn't confirm much except that the production team and the streaming service were still in talks to reach an agreement for Season 4.
