Season 2
A wealthy patriarch with a devastating secret manipulates his broken family back to unity.
At the same time, each member hides their power-hungry secrets, leading to infiltration by enemies and the destruction of the last of their true bonds.
The Bhengu family is at war, and only the strongest will survive.
The new season picks up right where Season 1 left off, and this time everyone is out for blood.
Stately patriarch Don Bhengu (Dumisani Mbebe) is losing his grip of control over his wife Grace (Nthati Moshesh) and children Phila and Linda (Jesse Suntele and Nambitha Ben-Mazwi), whose unpredictable acts are threatening to tear the family and business apart.
As Season 2 of Savage Beauty debuts, loyalties will be threatened, dangerous alliances formed and family bonds pushed to the brink in the dog-eat-dog Bhengu universe.
Within the Bhengu Beauty empire, fractures deepen as Zinhle's relentless vendetta threatens to tear them apart.
But instead of presenting a united front, each family member pursues power and dominance on their own treacherous terms.
The division between Grace, Don and their children leaves the once-mighty dynasty vulnerable to attack from newfound enemies seeking to settle old scores and seize control of the company.
The cast includes Nthati Moshesh, Dumisani Mbebe, Jesse Suntele and Rosemary Zimu.
They are joined by Tony Kgoroge, Abena Ayivor and Desmond Dube, as well as newcomer Lebogang Fisher.
Savage Beauty was created by Lebogang Mogashoa and is produced by Quizzical Pictures for Netflix with assistance from the Department of Trade and Industry and Competition South Africa.
