SEASON 3 STORYLINE
The hit drama series will not be letting go of its lead and star of the show, Thando Thabethe, who will be reprising her role as Linda. Paballo Koza (Mtho) is also making a return as Linda’s brother.
With her brother, Mtho, in need of rescuing from a serious crime that he is accused of, Linda will step in as an undercover house help to save him – this according to DSTV.com.
Throughout the season’s 13 new episodes, Linda is in the middle of a balancing act – it’s the detective versus the sister. Having made a promise to their mother to keep Mtho safe, Linda is wracked with guilt. Since she couldn’t save June, she wants to save her brother by any means necessary. This leads her down increasingly morally ambiguous paths.
“It’s a very South African twist on the classic detective show, and it’s so much more than a crime series. It’s relevant and features social commentary and a lot of heart, while still being entertaining. The show is as multifaceted and as intelligent as our audience,” said Shirley Adonisi, director of local entertainment channels at M-Net.
“We’re happy to keep giving viewers shows they love, and Housekeepers is one of the series that have kept our audience enthralled since its premiere,” Adonis added.
