It's almost time for Mzansi Magic's Rockville to blast back for Season 4 and there's a whole lotta new going on. New cast, new themes and a double whammy of villains.
Series headliners Shona and Connie Ferguson, Gail Mabalane and Boity Thulo are all back for the season with the other series regulars and there are three notable newcomers: Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, Themba Ndaba and Ayanda Thabethe.
Sello Maake Ka-Ncube will be playing the new villain who goes by the name of Rolex and Themba Ndaba (Hopeville, Soul City and The Road) takes on the role of crooked police officer Ngema.
Model and presenter Ayanda Thabethe plays the sultry temptress, Aliyah.
According to M-Net's Head of Drama Reneilwe Sema, the theme for the season is "journeys to redemption".
She explains: "Mavis tries to redeem broken family bonds, while JB, who has lost everything, is desperate to reconnect with loved ones in the midst of startling historic revelations.”
Also, there's going to be a doubly villainous showdown. There are now two main villains on the show whose paths will eventually cross.
The series is also introducing a twist of blessers with a storyline about teenagers who date older, married men.
Of course a question surrounding the newness is what's happening with Sello on Scandal! Is he leaving for Rockville?
No.
Word from e.tv is that he's still very much part of the soapie and will be on both shows at the same time when Rockville starts on Sunday, 10 July at 20h00.
