In an interview shared exclusively with Briefly News journalist Moroba Maepa, Tlali spoke about what viewers can expect in the second season of Outlaws.

"Outlaws doesn’t just show female strength. It shows the kind of strength women need to survive in a world that keeps trying to silence them. The women in this show? Different breed, ba itshwere ka bohaleng #OutLawsS2."

@kenonam1 reacted:

"The·guy chased me so far away, he's too good."

@Phindile_Rsa commented:

"I really believed this was real. Negotiations vs. revenge. Season 2 is setting up an uneasy truce. Is peace possible? Or is this just the calm before the storm? #OutLawsS2."

@n_makhubele reacted:

"Season 2 is giving secret negotiations, alliances that are one insult away from collapsing, and truces no one really trusts. And let’s be honest, if revenge is cooking in the background peace ekasebe teng, (There won't be peace.) #OutLawsS2."

@desree_h_ responded:

"The rivalry between Biyela and Ts’eole was just the beginning. I can't wait to see what season 2 of Outlaws brings, but I’m sure it will be more drama, more action! #OutLawsS2."
