On location in KZN.
Everyone has been waiting for it to happen and now it has. TVSA can confirm that the SABC has renewed Uzalo for a second season.
Uzalo commissioning editor Ntando Mhlongo has confirmed the news to us, hot on the heels of the agreement which is still sizzling as we speak. Word from Ntando is that the SABC and the production have signed a memorandum of understanding for a Season 2 to follow on from Season 1 when it ends in the first quarter of 2016.
SABC1 will be airing soccer at the start of 2016, which always sends the schedule into chaos. The new season will start once this is all over and it's going to premiere with other new properties. The channel has various shows in production so they're going to arrive in a blitz of premieres.
Uzalo's renewal doesn't mean that it's going to be turned into a soapie. According to Ntando, SABC1 feels that there isn't room for another soapie on the channel so it will remain a three-nights-a-week telenovela.
