Blame it on their
short, uncreative teasers!
That's our take on DiepCity's cancellation, which has just been announced by Mzansi Magic.
It's ending in March 2023 and will get its full second season of 240 episodes.
It launched in April 2021 with
779,806 viewers for its most watched episode and has since gone up and down, between 570,000 and 880,000 viewers e.g. it attracted 829,222 viewers in
April 2022 so it hasn't done a nose dive.
Of course Mzansi Magic hasn't gone into the exact details as to why it's ending, but they give a vaguely similar reason to Legacy, which was guided by the secret surveys we told you about
HERE.
This from the DiepCity press release:
As Mzansi Magic continues to keep up with the ever-evolving tastes and viewing patterns of audiences, the channel and business will maintain a working relationship Black Brain Pictures, the production house behind DiepCity. Other past collaborations with the company include the acclaimed dramas Vula Vala and Lockdown.
How do you feel about it ending? Is it an important part of your life or will you be happy for something new?
