Tshabalala said on her Instagram account: "Mtakababa, Mandlakayise. Bidding farewell to the amazing show. A few weeks ago, we got the sad news that Netflix has canceled Blood Legacy. There will be no season 3. Truth be told, it hit me hard. I have loved every second; sadly, we have to say goodbye after two amazing seasons. Thank you, Gambit and Netflix, for the opportunity. To our loyal audience, I love you to the ends of the world; thank you for your support and unconditional love for the past two years. To the cast and crew of Blood Legacy seasons 1 and 2, I love you, and I will forever cherish you all. Thank you for keeping my afro rising. Like my afro, I rise. Proudly self, proudly African; that is all I can be. Vuma dlozi lami."
