What could five years do to a place that was already crumbling?
This is the cryptic first teaser in the October teasers and yes, it's definitely happening.
Durban Gen hits the fast forward button by five years tonight (3 October) and will be set in this future for the remainder of the series which wraps in January 2023.
Clearly the writers decided enough is enough - let's start again!
Season 2 reached its end on Friday and the final three months have been classified as an extended Season 2, titled Season 2B, instead of a shortened Season 3.
Here's a teaser of who, where and what to expect when 2B premieres:
Mbali Mthewa opens the scene at her graduation ceremony where she becomes a fully-fledged sangoma.
The contrast and conflict between traditional vs western medicine will become a big factor as the story evolves.
Love, cheating and scandals will continue to unfold...
Dr Thabo and Dr Zondo are now married.
Dr Jack and Nurse Calvin have taken the next steps in their relationship and are now engaged.
And, Matron Phumeza and Sibiya finally have children of their own.
