Blood & Water’s success is a testament to the hard work put in by the entire team towards expanding the African narrative in a new and exciting direction,” said showrunner and director Nosipho Dumisa. “It’s a privilege and a blessing to return to our beloved characters, as we delve further into the greater mystery and scandals of their world. Parkhurst is about to get really messy.”
