The first season aired on 1Magic and followed three male best friends who attempted to navigate their relationships and the hardships of friendships.  

Mzansi Magic reveals that the new season is set in Johannesburg north’s elite Bryanston area and will share stories of a rich stay-at-home mom, played by Zimu who joins the adult content-creating world to maintain her luxurious lifestyle after her husband passes away and his family takes everything.

“It’s important that we keep up with what’s happening in the world around us and reflect that on screen. It’s also exciting for our DStv Compact subscribers to be among the first to get this show on their screens,” she concludes.
