We asked BET if there's going to be a second season or if the series was a once off and this is the statement we've received... as you'll see, the only conclusion we can draw is that it hasn't been renewed:

“BET Africa remains committed to make significant investment into the local production industry, the launch of our first star studded daily drama format ISONO has been popular with viewers across the continent.

Africans are among the most devoted and enthusiastic viewers of daily novelas and we are honoured to be a part of this long tradition of true local storytelling. We continue to focus on providing audiences with jam-packed locally brewed content, celebrating black culture and authentic storytelling.

There will be a number of game-changing announcements for the channel as we get into the new year and we encourage our viewers to keep tuned in for the latest in upcoming local content.” says Monde Twala, Senior Vice President and General Manager for ViacomCBS Networks Africa."

Somehow I'm sad the show is coming to an end. Hopefully, the channel made room for long form/telenovela slate on their “game-changing announcements”, unlike Mnet—that made their stance clear on long form shows in the future.
