With queen Pearl Thusi as the lead and it being the 'first' African Netflix Original series, it was an instant hit with local audiences.
That's why it was a big blow when the streaming giant announced that it could not renew the show for a highly-anticipated second season.

Netflix said that there had been many production issues, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which made filming even more difficult.
At the time, Pearl let it be known that she was still incredibly grateful to have been able to be a part of the show and also said that everything happens for a reason.

I'm definitely signing the petition, the show was so good. It had a slow start though which is why I understand people who watched a few episodes and say it was boring. Your acting was amazing though, I was so ready to see you in a spy role after Quantico 😍
