Director Nosipho Dumisa who wasn’t fully on board for a second season is now all in.

“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,” she said.
In season one the story followed 16-year-old Puleng Khumalo’s journey to investigate the 17-year old cold case of her abducted-at-birth older sister.

answers await them in the second season of Blood & Water. We’re even more delighted to share our continued commitment to showcasing only the best-in-class young adult stories that reflect more young people’s lives on screen, especially now in June as South Africa observes Youth Month.”
